Student Absences

As a service to students, the Dean of Students Office will provide notification to instructors when students have been/will be absent from class(es) for three (3) or more consecutive days and are unable to contact their instructors. Although it is the student’s responsibility to contact faculty about any absences, the Dean of Students will serve as a contact resource for students.

 

The Dean of Students Office will contact the student’s instructors by e-mail, indicating that the student has/will miss class(es). The Dean of Students Office will not verify the absence or state the reason for it. The student will be responsible for providing verification of the absence to his/her instructors, while faculty will determine if the missed tests and/or coursework may be rescheduled, or if penalties for being absent will apply.

 

The following guidelines apply to student absences:

  • Students are not required to report absences to the Dean of Students Office. The Office simply serves as a resource to help students reach faculty.
  • The student is responsible for providing verification of the absence to instructors, if requested.
  • Notification to instructors will be done via e-mail indicating that the student will miss class(es) and will copy the student on the email to the student’s Illinois State University e-mail address.

 

At the time of reporting the absence, students will need to provide the following information:

  • Student’s name
  • Student’s identification number
  • Student’s local address
  • Students e-mail address
  • Reason for absence
  • Beginning date and returning date (if known)
  • Name and telephone number of the person reporting absence

 

Information should be provided to the Dean of Students Office by telephone or email at:
