Request for Academic Absence Notification

The Center for Student Success assists students who are unable to attend class due to extenuating circumstances by sending formal notifications to instructors and other appropriate College officials. Please utilize the form below to make such requests. 

Absence Notification Form

Notifications are written using general, discreet language to protect student privacy. After a notification is sent, students should follow up with their professors to discuss plans for making up coursework and assignments.

Please note an absence notification is not an official excused absence from class. It serves to:

• Inform instructors of the circumstances surrounding a student’s absence
• Request that instructors work with the student to address missed coursework when appropriate
• Allow our office to support you through face to face meetings with a coach if needed
