8.51.31 No waiver shall be required for participation in conference-scheduled competitions, conference championships, and NCAA championships; however, the Athletics Advisory Board must be notified in advance on a timely basis when such participation, or associated off-campus travel, is scheduled to occur during the final exam period, on designated reading days, or on Sunday of the intra-exam period weekend.

In the event that the Athletics Advisory Board agrees to issue a request to the President to waive the provisions of sections 8.51.30-31, then the Board shall also provide the Faculty Senate Executive Committee with appropriate documentation and explanation as to its reasons for making the request. The explanation to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee should be forwarded simultaneously with the request to the President. The board's recommendation shall be forwarded to the University President for final action.
