Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what the Academic Code says about interviews:

For all other absences to be excused under sections 3.1.3.3 through 3.1.3.7, the student is responsible for providing satisfactory evidence to the instructor to substantiate the reason for missing class according to the following guidelines: 

3.1.3.7 A junior or senior with a mandatory admission interview for professional or graduate school, a post-graduate employment interview that cannot be rescheduled, or a presentation of original academic research that requires participation of external reviewers. Students requesting an excused absence under this provision must present documentation of the qualifying event to the student’s dean (or dean’s designee) at least one week prior to the anticipated absence. The dean (or dean’s designee) will determine whether the event qualifies for an excused absence and will notify the instructor(s) of the affected course(s). A student can request excused absences for no more than two class days per semester under this provision. Students are reminded that it is their responsibility to manage scheduling of such events to minimize class absences, and to use fall, Christmas, and spring breaks for scheduling interviews whenever possible.
