RE:  Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
FROM:  Gary Onan, Animal and Food Science
The Animal and Food Science Department is sponsoring an off-campus activity and a student in your course might miss class time.  The offices of the Provost and the Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs require that students provide this notice to you no later than one week prior to their scheduled activity to be in compliance with appropriate policies.  Your consideration in allowing them to complete course assignments and work in compliance with these university’s policies* is appreciated.  Thank you for your support and cooperation.  Additional details are below.
Dates & Times (“activities should not be scheduled during the final exam period or one week prior to final examinations”): Friday, Nov. 9, 2018; departing 6:00 a.m.; returning 7:00 p.m.
Activity: Badger Swine Symposium held at the Public Events Center at University of Wisconsin Arlington Experiment Station. This is an annual meeting sponsored by UWEX Swine Team for the purpose of educating producers about current industry topics.
Academic Rationale for Absence: The attending students are enrolled in Swine Production. This event allows them to hear some of the latest information regarding current swine production research, and industry challenges such as foreign animal disease threats. It is also an excellent opportunity to network with Wisconsin industry professionals and producers.

8.2.11 University Sponsored Off-campus Activities and Field Trips: Students will not be penalized for missing class in order to participate in University sanctioned events. If class attendance is a requirement, missing a class in order to participate in a University-sanctioned event will not be counted as an absence. Such absences do not relieve the students of any of their class responsibilities (e.g., homework, exams, lecture notes, etc.). Students are responsible for completing course requirements that are due on the dates of University-sanctioned events per prior agreement with the instructor. A University-sanctioned event is defined to be any extracurricular event (e.g., educational field trips or conferences, theatrical performances, intercollegiate athletic contests, musical performance or tours, etc.) as approved by the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
