Absence Verifications

In Fall 2020 K-State adopted an official excused absence policy. The policy can be found in section F62 of the University Handbook.

Some types of excused absences can be documented through Student Support & Accountability with submission of appropriate documentation. Outlined below are the types of documentation accepted for each type of excused absence, and information on how to submit the documentation to our office for verification.

Other absences may not be included under the excused absence policy, but can be verified through the Student Support & Accountability, per the section of the policy which outlines absences at the instructors discretion. These types of absences may include short-term illnesses, pre-medical appointment (VA exception), attending a funeral, etc.

Students who are unable to document an absence, or have a type of absence not mentioned previously should email or call our office to consult. We understand many students have absences from classes for many reasons, and we work to advocate for students to faculty regarding circumstances whenever possible.

We do not verify absences for family vacations, weddings, or other non-academic travel.
