How do students notify their teachers when they are absent?
If they are out for an extended period of time (3 or more days), they can call the Dean of Student Services Office and we will send out an absence report notifying their professors about how long they expect to be out and the reason. We do not send out absence reports for 1-2 day absences. For short absences, the student can notify the professor either by phone or once they return to class, depending upon the professor’s absence policy. Also, when the Dean of Student Services Office sends out an absence report, it does not excuse a student, it merely lets the professor know why the student is out.
