Students attending authorized off-campus functions or required activities shall be cleared through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Lists of students excused for official University activities will be maintained in the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Office. Students are responsible for informing their instructors about their absence from class and for completing assignments given during their absence. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any student with excused absences for official University activities.
