note
|
The field trip is an open-air class. It involves moderately strenuous exercise and requires attention to a spoken commentary. Only registered students may attend. Do not bring pets, children or other companions. |
|
if you do not attend the field trip
|
On or before the day of the trip, use NovaConnect to drop the course. After the day of the trip, but before the end of the semester, print a completed Withdrawal Initiated by Student Form, including the Mitigating Circumstances in Part B, and email it to me at the address given at the bottom of the page. If you are absent from the field trip and do not follow these directions, your course grade will be an "F". The computer system imposes this grade and you will have to jump through fiery hoops to change it. |
