Emergency Leave

Notification of Temporary Absence Due To Emergency

If you must miss one or more class meetings due to a personal or family emergency, it is important that you contact your instructors to notify them of your absence. To search for your instructor’s contact information please go to http://directory.fsu.edu/
If you must be out for two or more consecutive class meetings due to an emergent situation, contact your academic Dean’s office or the office of the Dean of Students to request that an absence notification letter be sent to each of your instructors. This letter does not excuse you from classes but serves as a formal notification. It is your responsibility to discuss with your instructors any make-up work or negotiate a change of assignment deadlines.
