Excused Absences

Future Professionals may receive a maximum of six (6) excused absences. Excused absences may include missing school due to the death of an immediate family member, a serious medical issue, or military service. To receive an excused absence, the Future Professional must provide sufficient documentation, such as a death certificate, doctor’s note or military service paperwork. Additional absences may be excused for medical reasons provided documentation from the medical provider is submitted to the Future Professional Advisor. The Future Professional must also inform their Future Professional Advisor that they are going to be absent due to one of the abovementioned reasons.

Individuals with a verified disability requiring occasional absences as a reasonable accommodation should seek approval via the School’s ADA Coordinator, Section 504/ADA Disability Accommodation & Grievance Policy located in this catalog.
