Bereavement Leave

Pursuant to The College of Idaho's Student Handbook, students who miss class, assignments, or exams as a result of a death of an immediate family member or relative may request a reasonable accommodation for an excused absence(s) and/or an extended deadline for missing assignments or completion of an exam. 

Upon receipt of the Bereavement Accommodation Request Form, the Department of Accessibility & Learning Excellence (DALE) will review, and if approved, will electronically send a Faculty Notification Letter to the relevant faculty member(s) and to the student.

Ultimately, if the accommodation request is approved, the student is responsible for all material covered and all assignments given in class during their absence and must work with each individual faculty member as soon as possible to complete any required work.
