Review frequently asked academic questions below about Douglas College.
It is expected that we may have higher than normal absenteeism this semester, particularly in the first few weeks of classes. Instructors will do their best to be understanding of students’ situations. Any resources or supplemental information that can be shared via Blackboard or other means may be available to students who have to miss class due to illness or isolation requirements.
Remember that decisions regarding attendance are the discretion of individual instructors, and faculty are encouraged to be reasonable when dealing with absences. Students continue to have the responsibility to communicate when illness impacts their ability to meet the requirements of a class. These are further resources in case you miss a class.
