Making Up a Missed MAPs Class: Oct/Dec 2019

---

Step 1: Read Our Policy   

• MAPs students may make up ONE missed class at another location offering the same MAPs level & topic

• Example: If you miss one “MAPs II: Next Steps” class, your makeup class must be from another “MAPs II: Next Steps” class offered at a different location.

• Makeup classes do not have to be attended in the same week as the missed class

• Example: If you miss week 2 of MAPs I For Daily Living at your location, you can attend week 6 of MAPs I For Daily Living at another locations

• Makeup classes must be attended in the series

• Example: If you miss a class during the January/February 2018 series, you must attend your makeup class within this same series.

• Making up the class online is not an option. 

Step 2: Choose a Makeup Class

• If you need to miss one of your MAPs classes and would like to make it up, you can choose a makeup class from our list of current MAPs classes below.
• When choosing your makeup class, make sure that it is the same class title as the one you are currently taking. For example, if you missed one of your “MAPs: II Next Steps” classes, you’ll want to choose a makeup class from another location offering a “MAPs II: Next Steps” class.

Step 3: Obtain Approval

Before attending your makeup class, you must email marcinfo@ucla.edu with the following information:

• Your name
• What class you are registered for, including location and teacher
• The date, location, and teacher of the make up class you would like to attend

You will receive an email approving your make up class, or requesting additional information. Please do not attend your makeup class unless you have received prior approval.

MAPs II: Cultivating Positive Emotions

This MAPs II class emphasizes heart-based qualities that complement mindfulness and can be cultivated through meditation practices. We will explore loving kindness, compassion, equanimity (even-mindedness), joy, generosity, and gratitude.

We will learn new meditations to develop these qualities, tools to work with when we find them ourselves stuck and not feeling positive emotions, and practical exercises to incorporate them into our daily life. This is a helpful expansion to our basic mindfulness practice.

Pre-requisite: Attendance in any introductory MAPs I series or equivalent mindfulness introductory class with permission from our instructor. If you have not taken a MAPs I class at MARC, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to marcinfo@ucla.edu before class start date.
