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

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.
