The Dean of Students’ Office can send out an absence notification to your professor(s) with appropriate documentation. The notification is just that, a notification, as DOS cannot dictate the content of an instructor or academic department’s attendance policy for their courses. However, we hope that the notification will allow for your faculty to work with you on your absence. For more info, visit louisville.edu/dos/facultystaff/absence-notification.
