Kilachand Co-Curricular Event Policies

Kilachand co-curricular events provide opportunities to engage with experts in diverse fields, explore key sites in Boston, and connect with faculty and peers outside the classroom.

Event Schedule

Each fall and spring term, Kilachand offers 6–10 co-curricular events scheduled at a variety of times and days to accommodate students’ commitments.

  • Students receive the schedule via email (PDF flyer) and can access updates on the web calendar, Google calendar, the Weekly newsletter, social media, and graphics in Kilachand Hall.
  • Some events, such as guest residencies, may require advance registration. Be sure to read event details thoroughly. 
Attendance Requirement
  • All on-campus Kilachand students enrolled in BU courses must attend two co-curricular events per term, as outlined in the Kilachand Program Requirements.
  • The event requirement applies even when a student is not enrolled in a Kilachand course for that term.
  • Exemptions:
    • The requirement is waived for any term in which a student is on a documented study abroad program.
    • Students with other full-time off-campus commitments, such as internships or practicums, that conflict with all scheduled events should reach out to their Kilachand Advisor as early as possible.
Attendance and Check-In
  • Students must attend the entire event and record their attendance by scanning a QR code provided at the end.
  • Within a week, students who successfully checked-in will receive a confirmation email and should keep this email for their records.
  • Students are responsible for ensuring their successful check-in. If technical issues arise with the QR code or a personal device, students must email their Kilachand Advisor within two business days of the event to report the issue and have their participation recorded. For example, for Friday events, students have until the following Tuesday to report check-in issues. 
Important Notes
  • Campus or class activities not explicitly listed as Kilachand co-curricular events cannot be substituted for the requirement.
  • Students who review the Kilachand co-curricular schedule at the start of the term and anticipate challenges meeting the attendance requirement should contact their Kilachand Advisor as early as possible in the term.
