The Excused Absence Policy supports students who are unexpectedly sick or have commitments/conflicts during class...

Mines students are expected to fulfill their academic requirements through attendance and/or participation. Class attendance is required of all students unless the student has an excused absence granted by the school or the student’s professor.

An excused absence awarded by the school or professor comes after a student's request.

Excused absences may be issued for unforeseen illness or anticipated and/or authorized medical or personal matters, including religious observance, military commitments, and other qualifying reasons (upon review, exclusions apply).

Opportunistic or habitual abuse of the excused absence policy violates the Mines Code of Conduct.
