On Friday, January 31, many students take the day off to celebrate Lunar New Year with their families.

If on the following Monday, February 3, students can provide a note from their parent(s) or legal guardian(s), then their absence will be count as ‘excused.’ All assignment deadlines will then be pushed back a day.

However, if a student cannot, then the absence counts as ‘unexcused’ and all assignments due on Friday will be late if turned in the following Monday.

If a note from a religious organization (a temple of church) is provided, then the absence would not be counted at all, according to Registrar Rebecca Gazaway because it is regarded as a religious day.
