Class Absence Notification

Case Management within the Office of the Dean of Students provides Class Absence Notifications for students with documented emergent situations and extenuating circumstances. Formal documentation/verification must be submitted by the student.

Notification of a class absence does not excuse students from classes and/or course requirements. It is a means through which information can be shared regarding emergent and extenuating circumstances. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructors and determine a mutually agreed upon arrangement for missed work. The ultimate decision regarding absences and the resulting influence those absences have on grades or course progression is at the discretion of the instructor in consideration of policies outlined via course syllabi.

Please note, the form needs to be signed by personnel within the office of the Dean of the College of the course, not the Dean of Students.
     
  • If a student needs to drop a course due to medical reasons at anytime during a semester, please review Medical Class Load Reduction through M.S. Shook Student Health Service.

Incompletes

A grade report of an "I" (incomplete) may be given if a student has completed the majority of the work in a class, but sickness or some other unavoidable cause has prevented the student from completing course work. It is the sole decision of faculty to allow an incomplete. Faculty should consult with their Department Chair should they have further questions.

To request an incomplete, the student must directly contact their instructor. The student is responsible for checking with the instructor in regards to deadlines for completing the work required for the course. The Incomplete must be completed within one semester, however, the instructor may choose to set another deadline, which may be less than one semester. After one semester (or the deadline set by the instructor), the Incomplete will be changed to a grade of "F" if the course work has not been completed. 
Note: A student cannot graduate with an "I" on their record.
