FROM:  Paul Shirilla, Health and Human Performance

The Health and Human Performance 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: 8am on Thursday, March 5th until 12pm on Friday, March 6th

Activity: Winter camping at Willow River State Park in Hudson, WI

Academic Rationale for Absence: PED 202- Outdoor Education: Winter Concepts and Skills focuses on providing students with skills and experiences for their own personal health and wellness in addition to equipping them to teach these skills and provide these experiences to future students and clients. The overnight winter camping trip is the culminating experience of this course.

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.
