Unplanned Absences

Students who are unable to attend placement due to an unplanned absence (illness, emergency, etc.) must notify the clinical site regarding absence as soon/early as possible. The student must also log any time absent from placement. as soon as possible after the absence, utilizing this form.

Regional Placement Coordinators will use this data to compare to preceptor-reported hours at the end of placement – students must use this form to account for any unplanned absences from placement. Students who do not report/log unplanned absence from placement may not meet curriculum requirements and may be required to complete remedial placement time to make up for lost hours.
