TO:  UWRF Colleagues

RE:  Off-Campus,
University-Sanctioned Event

FROM:  Dr. Michael Hoover
- HHP

The HHP 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: Depart
March 12, 2014 – 9:00
a.m. and Return March 12,
2014 – 1:00 p.m.

Activity: PED 109-01
Recreational Climbing
Field Experience – St.
Paul, MN Vertical Endeavors 

Academic Rationale for
Absence: Students
registered for PED 109
are required to
participate in an off
campus climbing
experience at Vertical
Endeavors (VE) in St.
Paul, MN.  This
experience allows
students to experience
different climbing wall
facilities, climbing
types, and the commercial
sector of the indoor
climbing business.  In
addition, a visit to VE
allows students to test
the belay skills acquired
during the eight week
course in an actual
assessment by VE staff. 
Successful completion of
this assessment certifies
students for top-rope
belay at the St. Paul, MN
VE facility.

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.
