Due to the heavy volume of requests, please note that a student's individual request can take two weeks for processing!
The Office of Student Assistance and Support Services can provide action regarding requests for verifying absences due to documented circumstances, including medical emergencies, personal/family emergencies, military orders, or court orders. Please make sure you have reviewed the website for more detailed information regarding the specific circumstances the office will verify. Submitting this form will initiate the absence verification process. If you have specific questions regarding absence verification, please contact the Office of Student Assistance and Support Services at 704-687-0289 during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm).

Final Approval of all absences, missed work, and/or extended academic deadlines is determined by the instructor.
The Office of Student Assistance and Support Services reserves the right to grant or reject absence verification requests at any time.
Due to the high volume of requests received during the semester, students must submit their absence verification request form AND official supporting documentation by the posted deadlines for the relevant term. Students are responsible for reviewing the posted deadlines, which are published on the SASS website at the beginning of each term.
Your Absence Verification request WILL NOT be processed without original documentation provided to the Office of Student Assistance and Support Services. You can attach documentation to this request form. You may also fax, email, hand deliver, or mail original copies to the Office of Student Assistance and Support Services for formal verification.
This form should be completed by current students, however submissions not submitted by current students will be reviewed for consideration based on extenuating circumstances. Please note that unexpected circumstances do occur and can cause a delay in review, but every effort is made to process all requests as efficiently as possible.
