RE: Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
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: Tuesday, September 22nd from 8am to 5pm
Activity: YMCA Camp St. Croix High Ropes Challenge Course
Academic Rationale for Absence: In PED 301- Foundations of Outdoor Leadership, students learn about various models of learning that are utilized in outdoor/adventure education environments. Students will be testing the Walsh & Golins Outward Bound Process Model through their participation in a high ropes challenge course experience, which is provided to mimic the conditions of a typical adventure experience.

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.
