Absence Letters
If a student will be absent from the University for an extended period of time due to illness or a personal emergency, he/she, a family member, or a faculty/staff member may contact the Center for Advising and Student Achievement (CASA) at (970) 491-7095 to request that an absence letter be sent via email to each of the student's instructors informing them of the student's stated reason for the absence and the length of time for which the student expects to be absent.
CASA staff will ask for the student's CSU ID number, the reason for the absence, and the duration of the absence in order to generate a letter. This letter does not excuse the student from assignments or exams due, or from knowing information given in lectures during the absence. Rather, it outlines the student's responsibility to contact his/her instructors to make arrangements to make up missed work and to obtain missed information.
Letters are usually emailed the same day the student contacts CASA, however, if the information is received late in the day, the notification will be sent out the following work day.
