RE:  Off-Campus,
University-Sanctioned Event

FROM:  Erick Hofacker -
Mathematics

The Mathematics
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: Departing
from campus on Wednesday
4/30 at 6:00 p.m. 
Returning to campus on
Friday 5/2 at 8:00 p.m.

Activity: The Math Block
students will be
attending the 2014
Wisconsin Math Council
Annual meeting in Green
Lake, WI.

Academic Rationale for
Absence: The field trip
will allow our
pre-service math teachers
to participate in a
professional development
experience.  They will
have the opportunity to
interact with K-12 math
teachers in the state of
Wisconsin as well as
other leaders in the
mathematics education
community.

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.
