Notification of Absences
For all academic courses, students must notify all course faculty as far in advance as possible if they are unable to attend class. In cases of an unplanned absence, students must contact course faculty before the scheduled class-time. Messages can be left for faculty using voice mail, email, or in the program office at (617) 643-2764 or otdel@mghihp.edu. Messages should indicate the length of and reasons for the absence. Absences are only acceptable for reasons such as emergencies, religious observance, illness, jury duty, or attendance at a professional conference.
Students are responsible for all material covered on days that are missed for personal reasons.
Policies regarding absences from fieldwork placements can be found in IV.29. Attendance and Fieldwork Schedules.
