Sponsored/Authorized Activities

To assist in the communication of university-related activities that may result in a student being absent from class, the Department of Student Activities administers both an Authorized and Sponsored Activity List.

Authorized Activities

The Authorized Activity List reports activities that are required due to mandatory participation in a university activity, or necessary as a requirement for an official class. Authorized activities are official university-excused absences as defined in Part I, Section 7 of University Student Rules.

In order for an activity to be listed as an Authorized Activity, the form below must be completed and submitted to the Department of Student Activities with approval by the Dean of the college in which the activity will occur, or in the case of a non-academic activity, with approval by the Vice President for Student Affairs.

If the absence is categorized as excused, the instructor must either provide the student an opportunity to make up the exam or other work missed or provide a satisfactory alternative completed within 30 calendar days from the last date of absence.

Sponsored Activities

The Sponsored Activity List reports activities of academic and non-academic departments, administrative entities and or recognized student organizations that are generally considered to be important to the overall leadership development and education of Texas A&M students but not required as part of an official class (as approved by the Dean) or as mandatory participation in a university activity (as approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs). Participation in a sponsored activity is not considered official university-excused absences; however, based on the perceived educational value of the event, instructors are encouraged to consider allowing student(s) to make up the work missed.

The Sponsored Activity form can be accessed and submitted online below. This form does not require Dean or Vice President for Student Affairs approval.
