ASUW Senate: Session XXX

Procedures

Attendance Policy

Senators are allowed two proxies and two absences per quarter. Your proxy can be any UW student, but you must complete a PROXY FORM prior to 5pm on the Tuesday of your absence. If the form is not complete before the start of the meeting, it will be counted as an absence.

Violation of the attendance policy can result in removal of your status as a Senator. If you are in need of accommodations in order to remain in compliance with the attendance policy, please feel free to reach out to anyone in Senate Leadership. We are here to help and want to see you all succeed!
