RE:  Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
FROM:  Rhonda Willers, Art Department
The Art 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”): Wednesday,  April 18th  – Sunday, April 22nd
Activity: American Craft Council St. Paul Show 2016, RiverCenter, St. Paul, MN
Academic Rationale for Absence: Art department students are participating in a multi-disciplinary experience with the American Craft Council (ACC). They will be selling their artwork, interacting with the general public along with collectors of Craft Art. Students will have the opportunity to network with professional crafts-based artists at the event. Throughout the process and the show/sale, students are learning about the process of selling artwork, which includes: creating the work, pricing, packing and promoting the work.

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.
