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: Thursday, November 12, 2015 (7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) and Friday, November 13, 2015 (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.).
Activity: Some of the math education teacher candidates will be attending the 2015 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Regional Conference in Minneapolis, MN.  Candidates will attend either one or both days.
Academic Rationale for Absence: Attending this conference allows our pre-service math teachers the opportunity to participate in a professional development experience.  The teacher candidates will have the opportunity to interact with K-12 math teachers in the Midwest 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.
