The University of Wisconsin-Platteville acknowledges that the death of a loved one can be difficult. The Student Bereavement Policy (link to policy) was established to to provide students three (3) days of excused absences to allow for bereavement. Upon approval of your request, the Dean of Students Office will: a) Contact your instructors and academic advisors to inform them of your excused absence and b) Inform your instructurs and academic advisor of the three (3) days you have requested. Additional days of excused absences or assignment/exam extensions may be negotiated between the instructor and student. Students are encouraged to discuss options with their instructors. Additionally, students are responsible for contacting their instructors for all missed work during their excused absences.
