RE: Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event

FROM: Terry Ferriss; Plant and Earth Science Dept.

The Plant and Earth Science  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 (“activities should not be scheduled during the final exam period or one week prior to final examinations”): Friday, February 27, 2015, 8 am – 1:00 pm

Activity: Field Trip for the HORT 245 Interior Plantscapes ; to tour Interior Plantscape installations in Mpls, MN

Academic Rationale for Absence: Hort 245 Interior Plantscapes is a course that focuses on the Interior Plantscape Industry.  It is critical that the students be able to meet with a professional in the field and have an opportunity to see and discuss commercial plant installations with the professional.  This provides a perspective and content about the industry that cannot be replicated in a classroom.

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.
