学生 who miss classes due to crises or extenuating circumstances may need notification sent to their professors. While it is completely at the professor's discretion whether they allow for making up work or excused absences, 学生接触 & Support offers outreach to professors and additional support to students dealing with these situations. Please see below for the steps for requesting academic notification.
