  • Attendance is essential for academic engagement and learning. The course syllabus outlines requirements for attendance, deadlines for submission of assignments, and dates of exams. Missing class or the submission of required work can impact your grade, regardless of the circumstances. If you are absent due to an accident, medical, or private matter, you are encouraged to first notify the faculty member or teaching assistant (TA) at the time of the absence or immediately thereafter, as the situation allows.

    For a one or two-day absence, use the Student Self-Reporting Absence Application.

    For multi-day absences, or when a major course requirement is missed during the one or two-day absence, instructors may request students obtain an Absence and Verification Notice (AVN) from the Dean of Students–Advocacy, Outreach, and Support. Documentation is required for an AVN.

    Reporting an absence does not excuse missed work, and even with verification for absences, it is up to each instructor to determine if there are options for allowing the submission of missing or late work.
