Excused absences do not entitle a student to make up in-class quizzes, assignments, and activities. Students should refer to the course syllabus regarding missed quizzes, assignments, and activities. Examinations missed due to an excused absence will be made up at a time determined by the college. A course missed due to an extended absence may result in the student being placed in an extended program or on a leave of absence or administrative break in enrollment. Absences will require the submission of supporting documentation. Illness/Hospitalization—For excused absences due to illness/hospitalization, the Office of Student Affairs/Services designee at your campus must be notified no later than 48 hours from the first date of the absence. Religious Holidays—See the Religious Holidays Policy section in the university-wide portion of this publication. Additional dates included for travel to observe a religious holiday will not be approved. Other—Circumstances resulting in an absence not listed above (e.g., death in the immediate family, court appearance, etc.) must be cleared with the Office of Student Affairs/Services designee at your campus, preferably before the absence occurs, but no later than 48 hours from the date of the absence occurring and will require the submission of supporting documentation. An Excused Absence Documentation Form must be completed and submitted with documentation for consideration. For more information, students should contact the Office of Student Affairs/Services designee at their campus.
