UMC Policy on Excusing Classes for Convocation
Convocation at the University of Minnesota, Crookston (UMC) is celebrated twice each academic year--once each during fall and spring semester. As a policy, classes are excused for the hour-long Convocation, and students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to attend and celebrate UMC's accomplishments with their peers and colleagues. The public is also invited to attend. A tradition dating back to the founding of the campus, Convocation consists of a keynote speaker selected by the UMC Student Association and recognition of student academic and athletic achievements. Convocation also features musical selections courtesy of the UMC Music Department. The event has traditionally been scheduled on a Wednesday near the middle of the semester at 10 a.m. The UMC Student Association has the authority to schedule the event with the approval of administration.
