Cultural Events

Suggested Options for Petitions


The following include a selection of off-campus events/locations which students have received Cultural Event credit for attending/visiting in the past. In order to receive credit for these, students must submit a Cultural Events petition. These petitions are assumed to be approved for 1 Cultural Event credit, provided that students submit a well-written report along with proof of attendance. Approved petitions are similar in nature to events that would be held on campus. These are only suggestions and are not meant to be all-inclusive nor to eliminate other similar events.

Proof of attendance would be a ticket stub or, if free, a program from the event along with a photo of the student at the event.

    Attendance at any dance performance by the following listed groups or types of production companies would qualify.

    Community Dance Troupes

    Note: Dance recitals by local or area studios where the performers are children are not acceptable.

    This includes attendance at classical or true jazz programs by professional, community, or college groups.
