Due to most classes switching to online formats, the L.A.W. executive board decided to move Canned Immunity onto a virtual platform once again!
The rules are still the same, $2 or 2 cans per ticket or $5 or 5 cans for three tickets. Tickets can be used to receive “immunity” from being called on in select classes. Email your ticket to your professor the day you want to use the ticket. One ticket may be used per class. Please see the list of participating professors and restrictions.
L.A.W. and Professors will be implementing the Honor Code on ticket usage. Due to COVID-19 there are many food insecure families in our area who need help. It would be shameful to take advantage of Canned Immunity.
