Absence Memo Request Form

Submission of this form requires verifiable documentation related to the reason for your absence from classes. Students should know what documentation meets the requirements for verification of excused absences. EXCUSED ABSENCE POLICY

Information about the Absence Request Process

This service is currently only provided for undergraduate students in the College of Engineering
Students must have documentation ready to upload to this form (refer to policy link above if you are unsure about the type of documentation you need)
Not all types of absences are "university-excused" (there are 6 types listed in the policy)
Requests for memos must be submitted within 2 weeks of the absence. Students are expected to make arrangements for missed assignments, exams, and quizzes within 1 week of the absence. These arrangements are made between the student and instructor.
The Engineering Student Services office cannot verify documentation of tele-medicine appointments; therefore, we cannot provide an excused absence memo in these cases. Students must work directly with their instructor who will determine if the absence can be excused based on the documentation provided directly to the instructor.
ESS will notify instructors if a student submits falsified or alter documents.

NOTE: Only submit requests for courses taught through the College of Engineering. ESS does not process excused absence memos for non-engineering courses.
