Absences from Class

While students are expected to attend class regularly and should consult their class syllabus regarding specific absence policies for each class, sometimes unforeseen circumstances happen! On this web page you can fill out an online form asking for Student Care and Support/Student Success to reach out to your faculty on your behalf if you are navigating extenuating circumstances.

The Student Care and Support Office receives referrals from students, faculty, staff, etc. about students of concern. The Office works with key partners on campus to provide support for those students with a goal of helping them succeed academically and personally.
