Inclusive Education Ideas
Student Responsibilities
If attendance is required, participation is mandatory, or you want them to read the assignment before class, explain to your students that this is expected of them throughout the semester. Explain policies on absences, make-ups, emergencies, and accommodating special needs. You may also remind them that they are responsible for their success and communicating with you when they have need assistance or have other concerns.

Be Safe Cougs
Life Jackets
More than two-thirds of all boating fatalities are drowning incidents and 90 percent of drowning victims were not wearing a life jacket.
Life jackets are the single most important piece of equipment on a boat and there must be a properly fitting life jacket for each and every person aboard a recreational vessel. You don’t want your life jacket too large or too small. A snug fit is a proper fit. Life jackets for adults do not work for children.
- Make sure the life jacket is properly fastened.
- All straps, buckles or zippers are secure.
- Hold your arms straight up over your head.
- Ask a friend to grasp the tops of the arm openings and gently pull up.
