University policy recognizes that there are a variety of legitimate circumstances in which students will miss coursework and that accommodations for makeup work will be made.
This requires instructors to provide timely and clear responses to requests for makeup work for absences, provide reasonable and timely accommodation for makeup work for legitimate absences, maintain consistency in how this policy is applied to all students enrolled in the course.
Students are expected to plan schedules to avoid excessive conflict with course requirements, notify instructors of circumstances related to absences as soon as possible, and to provide verification of absence if requested by the instructor.

A responsible administrator determines whether to implement a requested accommodation or other reasonable accommodations. A responsible administrator should generally consult with others before making such a decision, including the campus Disability Resources office, Human Resources, and/or the Office of the General Counsel as appropriate.
If an individual seeking accommodation disagrees with the determination made by the responsible administrator, they should contact their campus Disability Resource office or campus Equal Opportunity office to learn about options for appealing the responsible administrator’s decision.
