Please note:
Excused Absences: Students may be absent for an acute illness, a personal crisis (e.g. death in
the family), a first--author presentation at a scientific conference or a religious observance as
described in the Columbia University Regulation on Religious Holidays. As soon as they are
able, students must notify Dr. Cloyd (tsc2141@cumc.columbia.edu) and copy Lyndsey Adams
(la2881@cumc.columbia.edu).
Approval for all absences is at the discretion of Dr. Cloyd.
If a student will miss any session (morning or afternoon), please contact Dr. Cloyd in
advance or as soon as possible. Please note that missing a simulation or skills session may
result in the inability to become BLS/ACLS certified in R4R. Special attention should be paid
to finding a swap for an alternate session if required for ACLS/BLS certification.
Dr. Cloyd, like other course directors, may allow a brief absence for a wedding in which the
student plays a significant role or the graduation of a close family member, but is not
obligated to do so. In all such cases, students must email Dr. Cloyd and Lyndsey Adams well
in advance.
