Athletics and Academic Absence

It is Columbia University policy that student-athletes who miss classes and/or exams as a result of representing the University at an approved athletics contest may be permitted to make up the work and/or take the exam at another time or location.

To be accommodated in this way, students must first gain the approval of the team Head Coach and their academic advisor in the GS Dean of Students Office.

Student-athletes will then submit the form to their academic advisor in the GS Dean of Students Office and upload it to the Columbia Athletics Student-Athlete Portal (via the Academic Absence Notification Form).
