Faculty Absences

Except for illnesses and other emergencies, all faculty members should arrange in advance for absences and, where possible, arrange for qualified colleagues to assume their duties temporarily and/or leave appropriate assignments for their students. If you do have an illness or emergency and must cancel your class on short notice, you are responsible for emailing your students to notify them of the cancellation. You should also contact the appropriate program director and the Administrative Support Specialist to keep them informed of the situation. If necessary, the department can assist you with notifying students of the cancellation or making other arrangements to help students make up missed material.
