Co-Curricular Events: Terms and Conditions
Registration for C0-Curricular Events:
Please regularly check your MUDEC calendar for important dates and the weekly Monday Newsletter. Your Student Faculty Council will be the main MUDEC source for social and extra-curricular activities. All Student Faculty Council events will be communicated by the Student Faculty Council Communications Chair (usually through Facebook events, the MUDEC Monday Newsletter, and/or emails). Remember that you are responsible for attending all mandatory events and fulfilling the LUX 335 course requirements. (This page does NOT include all events and should not be your primary resource.) Co-Curricular events are a way for you to get to know Luxembourg better and have a healthy and stress-free (as possible) semester.
Please remember that Co-Curricular events are supplemental to academic programs. Students are expected to prioritize academic responsibilities and residency permit obligations. Depending on his/her class schedule and academic program, all students may not be able to attend all events. Students are expected to check their academic calendar and other commitments before registering for a event. Please remember that these events are simply supplemental and co-curricular curricular in nature. It is highly recommended that students manage their weekday time effectively to allow for a more successful and enjoyable semester. It is also recommended, by MUDEC and previous students, that students spend at least one weekend in Luxembourg in order to 1) enjoy the country in which you are living and 2) give your mind and body a break between travels.
Note that if either the US Department of State or Miami University Risk Management deems a location or activity unsafe, it will be either canceled or replaced as soon as we are notified. This is a rare circumstance, but as our students' safety is most important to us, this may occur. A co-curricular event may also be cancelled if it conflicts with a mandatory MUDEC event or academic schedule.

NOTE: Please see the registration time period, if you register before the beginning date, it will go through the system, but will not be accepted on MUDEC's end. This is only to make each event fair and open to all students equally. (All are first come, first serve.) Note that not all events have the same registration time period.
