Absences
We realize that unforeseeable circumstances may arise in the lives of students over the course of a semester at IWU. Short-term absences do not qualify for a reduction in spiritual formation credits. Students are responsible to accrue the minimum credits in a semester and it is recommended that students build in a cushion in case a short-term absence is needed.
A short-term absence is any absence lasting 14 days or less. Short term absences may include, but are not limited to:
- illness lasting 14 days or less
- class field trips
- life crisis lasting more than 14 days
- Quarantine or isolation lasting more than 14 days
- concussion lasting more than 14 days
A reduction due to a long-term absence must include proper documentation through the Center for Student Success and/or Student Engagement. Please contact the Spiritual Formation Office at chapel@indwes.edu for instructions on how to apply for a possible reduction in credits for long-term absences only.
