Common use of Excused Absences Clause in Contracts

Excused Absences. Xxxxxxxxx University recognizes that, at times, absences are unavoidable. If a student must miss a class due to unforeseen circumstances, he or she should notify the class instructor as soon as possible. Absences may be excused (not counted against the student's attendance) only for legitimate and documented reasons, such as illness. If a student cannot attend class due to illness, he or she is expected to bring a signed letter from his or her physician attesting to the illness and requesting that the student be excused for a specific day (or days). Other excused absences may include a variety of unavoidable situations, but all are subject to a final decision by the Director of Academic Affairs as to whether they are excused or not. All excusal requests MUST be accompanied by some form of official documentation attesting to the reason for the absence. Without documentation of some kind, no excusal will be granted; however, please note that the excusing of an absence is entirely at the discretion of the Director of Academic Affairs, and that possession of documentation does NOT guarantee excusal. Students who are absent from a mid-term or final exam MUST provide the same evidence as for an excused absence to the Director of Academic Affairs, who, along with the individual instructor, will make a decision as to whether the student will be allowed to make up the exam. Students who are absent for other than medical reasons will generally not be allowed to make up an exam, unless the circumstances are extreme, in which case a decision will be made by the Director of Academic Affairs as to whether or not to allow a makeup. In all such cases, the Director's decision is final. Again, documentation of the absence is REQUIRED, but does NOT guarantee excusal.
