Please note that this procedure does not guarantee that your grade will be affected. The impact of absence from class on the grade evaluation will be determined by the instructor in charge of the class, taking into consideration the reason for the absence. In the case of experimental courses, you may be required to submit a separate designated form, so please check with the laboratory in charge before responding to the request.
Please check the website of the Center for English Language Education and take separate action.

This procedure is voluntary. If you are going to be absent from a class or an examination at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, please follow the procedures below.
Please note that this procedure does not guarantee that consideration will be given to your grade. Absences from class for personal reasons will be determined on an individual basis by the instructor in charge of each course.
If you know in advance that you will be absent, please contact your instructor or laboratory in charge in advance. If you are unable to contact the instructor in advance due to an unforeseen accident or unavoidable circumstances, please notify the instructor after the fact. If you are instructed to take alternative measures, please follow the instructions.
The instructor will determine the impact of the absence on the grade evaluation, taking into consideration the reason for the absence.
If requested by the instructor or laboratory in charge, please obtain official documents to prove your absence (“doctor’s certificate,” “invitation letter from a wedding or funeral,” “certificate of participation in employment interview or employment examination issued by the company where you wish to work,” etc.) and present them to the instructor or laboratory in charge when reporting your absence. In addition, it is advisable to present this document in advance when contacting the instructor or laboratory in charge. Special forms may be required for some laboratory courses, so please check with the laboratory in charge in advance.
