To receive credit the student must be scanned both in and out of the event. Petition for credit for attendance at an event off- campus. Present a portfolio of culturally-related life experiences. All experiences cited must be post-high school. This option is designed for the non-traditional student with an extensive background of cultural experiences.
Students are solely responsible for completing their cultural events requirements.
Students anticipating this situation should contact the Cultural Events Office as early in their college career as possible so as to allow maximum opportunities to work on the problem. The Cultural Events Committee consists of eight members plus the Coordinator for Cultural Events in an ex-officio capacity. The committee is made up of six members of the Winthrop faculty, appointed by the office of the Academic Vice-President, and two student members, selected by the Winthrop Student Government Association. The committee's job is to select events as approved cultural events and to approve or deny credit for cultural events petitions and portfolios, making decisions regarding the number of cultural events credits to be awarded on travel petitions and on portfolios. The committee meets once a month to consider these items.
