TO:  UWRF Colleagues

RE:  Off-Campus,
University-Sanctioned Event

FROM:  Joel Peterson,
Agricultural Engineering
Technology Department

The Agricultural
Engineering Technology
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
and Friday, Feb. 13 and
Feb. 14, 2014

Activity: National Farm
Machinery Show,
Louisville, Kentucky

Academic Rationale for
Absence: The National
Farm Machinery show is
the largest and
best-known meeting of its
kind in the Agricultural
Machinery industry. It is
an opportunity for
students to see the
latest advances in the
technology they will be
working with after
graduation and also
provides great networking
opportunities for
internships and full-time
employment.

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.
