This receipt includes the title of the production, date of the performance, and space for the student's name. Students are to write their name on the receipt and return it to their instructor at their next class meeting. Proof of Attendance Receipts are not available at any time other than immediately following the performance the student attended.
Faculty are to submit all Proof of Attendance Receipts to the Faculty Mail Room (submission box available beginning Monday following the show's closing) or the Information Desk by the Friday following the final performance of the show. Students’ names must be legible. . Only Proof of Attendance Receipts (not ticket stubs, envelopes, programs, etc.) with students' names written legibly will be accepted.

Sample Syllabus Statement
As attending productions is to be a graded requirement for every Department of Theatre & Dance major in departmental courses, all faculty and instructors of these courses and students must include a statement explaining the policy in their syllabi. The specific way(s) in which this attendance will impact students' grades is up to each instructor to determine and should also be clearly articulated in the syllabus.
It is the policy of the Department of Theatre and Dance that our majors attend department season productions and that this attendance is a part of the coursework for our majors' classes. Attendance will be tracked and recorded by way of Proof of Attendance Receipts and made available to Instructors for grading purposes. The specific list of required productions, the means by which students may receive and submit the receipts, and how our majors may obtain free or discounted admission is available on the Department of Theatre and Dance wiki under the "Student Resources" tab. Proof of Attendance Receipts will not be accepted after the submission deadline listed on the wiki (2/28/14 for Dead Man’s Cell Phone, 3/21/14 for Kinesthetic Imperative, and 4/25/14 for In the Heights).
