IMPORTANT INFORMATIONExcused Absences PolicyThe Excused Absences Policy allows students to be absent from class when they participate in university-sanctioned events. These university-sanctioned events include but are not limited to student government congresses, intercollegiate athletic and debate contests, music competitions, academic meetings, and conferences. When students’ participation in university-sanctioned events or activities requires them to be absent from a class (or classes) during which an examination or other measurement of academic progress is scheduled, faculty will provide students with opportunities to be evaluated at other times and by comparable alternative evaluation methods within a reasonable period of time prior to or after the absence. For more information, please refer to: louisville.edu/provost/policies/classroom/classroom-policies/#excusedabsences. Absence NotificationStudents and instructors are encouraged to deal directly with one another concerning all student absences. However, in the event students find they must be away from classes due to a sudden illness, emergency, or death in the family and are unable to make
contact with their instructor(s), they may request an Instructor Notification by contacting the Dean of Students Office (DOS) at 852-5787 or dos@louisville.edu.
