Excuses for Class
The UB Student Wellness Team (Health Services, Counseling Services, Wellness Education Services) will not issue notes or excuses. To do so creates an undesirable climate for health care and disempowers students. Responsibility for class attendance and for completion of assignments rests primarily with the student, who assumes this responsibility by communicating directly with faculty. If after the student has provided an explanation for his or absence, a faculty member wants verfication of attendence or additional information, Health Services and Counseling Services can do so with authorization from the student.
