FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. How can I find out my current cultural events total?  
   Login to your Wingspan account and click on Registration Status.  Select the current term.  The cultural events summary is listed there.  
   
    

2. Who should I call to find out more information about an event or reserve tickets?
   Each listing on the cultural events calendar contains an extension number.  This is the contact number for that event.  Call that number for information about the event, or to reserve seats.
   
   

3. I was only 1 (2, 5, 10, 20,...…) minutes late for an event.  Can I still get credit for that event?
   The rules on this are very clear...  Even one minute late is too late.  You must be there before the event begins in order to receive credit.  The cultural events monitors are instructed that an event has started when a performer walks out on the stage, a curtain rises, a lecturer walks to the podium (or an individual introducing a lecturer), a film starts, a conductor walks out on the stage, etc.  They are given the authority to make the decision as to when the event has started and they are also instructed that at that time they should stop scanning people in to the event.   After the event begins the monitor may give you a slip to fill out for the event but will mark on it that you were late.  You must turn that slip in at the end of the event.  If you are more than 15 minutes late for an event the monitor may, correctly, refuse to give you a slip since there is virtually no chance that you will receive credit for the event.  No credit will be given based solely on that slip in any event.  Please note:  Any late arrivals or early dismissals will not be accepted.
   
   

4.  I spent some time in another city (another country).  How can I receive credit?  Read the information concerning travel petitions.  The travel petition should be written up as one experience, but be specific about the places you visited and things you did.
   
   

5. My organization wants to sponsor an event and wants cultural events credit for that.  What is the process for getting credit?
