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.
