Travel that conflicts with your academic obligations – including previously scheduled plans – will not be approved

When planning your travel for Thanksgiving or Winter Break, check your course and exams schedules before booking. You are required to fulfill your academic obligations, and requests for Excused Absences as a result of your travel plans will not be granted through the Excused Absence Policy.
