Undergraduate Student Absence Policy for University-Approved Activities

Southern Illinois University Carbondale deeply values and supports the required participation of undergraduate students in university–approved activities. In this spirit, instructors will provide these students with reasonable accommodations for missed exams, quizzes, and the like. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management will determine university-approved activities. However, it is the students’ responsibility to use the Undergraduate Student Absence Form to inform officially instructors of all scheduled absences as soon as possible in the term. It is also the students’ responsibility to arrange for the completion of all missed classroom work. Ultimately, students are responsible for the material covered in class. In the event of disagreement regarding this policy, the issue will be directed to the department chair, the dean, then the Provost, for review.
