Supporting documentation such as obituaries, death certificates, and visits to medical providers will be required. Upon completing the Temporary Absence Request form, an absence notification will be sent to the student\u2019s professors. Absence notifications serve to alert professors that documentation has been received by the Office of Academic Services. High Point University does not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences, and these absences will be counted toward the total amount of allowable absences under the University Absence Policy; therefore, absence notifications <strong>do not excuse absences nor do they guarantee<\/strong>\u00a0that students will be permitted to make up missed assignments or assessments.<\/p>\n<p>At all times, students are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>subject to High Point University\u2019s Absence policies.<\/li>\n<li>subject to the absence policies set forth in each of their courses.<\/li>\n<li>responsible for communicating with their professors.<\/li>\n<li>for making up any missed assignments or assessments by the deadlines issued by their professors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students requiring to be absent for a period of greater than\u00a0<strong>two consecutive weeks<\/strong> are required to contact the Senior Director of Academic Services, Jennifer Grider at jgrider@highpoint.edu or 336-841-9349.<\/p>\n<p>This form is not to be used for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>minor health issues such as common colds, flu, or any other illness requiring a student to be absent 3 days or less.<\/li>\n<li>travel.<\/li>\n<li>requesting a leave of absence for the remainder of the semester.<\/li>\n<li>requesting Consideration for Absences accommodations.
