Medical Absence Accommodation

  • In most cases, class attendance is critical to a student’s mastery of the knowledge and skills that are taught in a specific course and students are expected to follow the attendance policy established by the instructor in each class.

  • This accommodation does not automatically apply for all classes and/or assignments/tests and is subject to review by the Access Office and instructor on a class-by-class basis.

  • It is vital that the student notifies their instructor as soon as possible of any absence that may require the Medical Absence Accommodation.

  • It is important for the student to realize that even if excused, absences could impact the student’s academic performance because the student will not have the benefit of such things as full classroom interaction and the opportunity to ask questions while the material is being presented.
