University of Georgia students hopeful their school’s national championship football game Monday night might mean a day without class got a sobering message.
Administrators emailed students and staff Tuesday reminding everyone there’ll be no university-wide interruption to the academic schedule.
“We have consulted the practices of comparable universities that have played in the championship and have that it is not commonplace to formally cancel classes due to game participation,” part of the message said. “Therefore, staff and administrators should coordinate with supervisors for any planned annual leave related to championship activities.”
UGA players, band members and cheerleaders will potentially require an excused class absence, the message said.
The message ended, of course, with the words “Go Dawgs!”
