Excused absences policy

• Due to the practice and participation nature of our courses, the PAC Program does not accept excused absences (such as Doctor's notes, sports related absences, internship/study related travel, etc). 
• Please reference the instructor's syllabus for their course's specific policies on recovering participation credit for missed days.
• If a student is injured, ill or required to quarantine and anticipates missing 4+ days of class, the student should communicate with their instructor regarding the IRP as an option.
• See the Office of Student Life's about student absences.

Injury & Illness Recovery Pathway (IRP)

• For students who are injured or contagious and unable to be present in class for a two-week period or more.
• Students should not register into the IRP without discussing this option with their instructor.
• Submit pathway registration here: IRP Questionnaire

Locker service

Each student in a PAC course may check out a storage basket at no additional fee. These are located in either Langton Hall or Women's Building basement, and the check out room is also in the basement. Check out includes a lock. During class-time students may use the available large lockers for storage.
