Excused Absence Guidance & Reminders
Department / Organization: SL
The Excused Absence Policy aims to support students with planned and unplanned commitments
Students at Mines are expected to fulfill their academic requirements through attendance and/or participation. Class attendance is required of all students, unless an excused absence has been 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). For known, future commitments students are encouraged to submit their request as early as possible.
Opportunistic or habitual abuse of the excused absence policy may be a violation of the Mines Code of Conduct.
