Request Absence Notification
Students are expected to follow Rowan University's classroom attendance policy and notify instructors of individual course absences, in advance if possible, and to develop a plan, with a timetable, to make up missed coursework. Also reference your course syllabi for additional information regarding class absences and make-up work as allowing make-up work is at the discretion of the instructor. The Dean of Students Office can assist with absence notification for indivudal absences of three (3) or more consecutive days or for approved University group travel.
Students will be required to provide verifiable documentation regarding the reason for the absences to the Dean of Students Office. Though notification may be provided by the Dean of Students Office, arrangements for make-up work, make-up exams, or possible assignment adjustments are the responsibility of the student.
The specific details for the absence will not be shared beyond the Dean of Students Office. The reasons for the absence that will be sent to the instructors will be categorized in one of the following: Authorized University Action, Illness, Injury, Family Emergency.
It is not the practice of the Dean of Students Office to document short-term illness, medical reasons, or personal reasons that may have caused a student to miss class for less than three days. If the student is absent fewer than three days, it is his/her responsibility to contact his/her instructors personally, or leave a message with the department program associate. The Dean of Students Office will notify instructors when the student is absent for fewer than three days if the reason for the absence is exceptional (family or personal emergency or a death in the family).
Documentation may be submitted to the Dean of Students Office (located on the second floor of the Chamberlain Student Center, suite 210) using this online form. If additional information is required or there are questions, a member of our staff will contact you.
