Anticipated Absence:

• Submit an e-mail to the COM Office of RSAS at comsa@une.edu that includes the date of your proposed absence, the reason for it, and the class to be missed.
• You will be informed, via your campus e-mail, whether or not your absence will be excused. If excused, the appropriate offices will be notified.
• If missing an exam is involved, you must include a request to make up the exam. The make-up exam must be taken within three days of the originally scheduled exam OR immediately upon returning to classes. YOU are responsible for contacting faculty to arrange the make-up.

Unanticipated Absence:

• Call or email the COM Office of RSAS (extension 2329 or comsa@une.edu) the day of your absence and let them know you will be absent, plus inform them of the circumstances. This way, they can pass along the information to the appropriate instructor(s). If no one is available, leave a message on voice mail.
• Follow up by submitting an email to comsa@une.edu stating the date of your absence and the reason for it. This must be turned in no later than one business day following your return to classes. If the absence was due to illness, you must also turn in a written statement from the attending physician verifying that you were too ill to be in class.
• You will be informed via your campus e-mail if you have been excused.
