For academic absences, what must accompany the request?

• A. A doctor’s note
• B. An unofficial text message
• C. A screenshot of the assignment provided in request email
• D. A parent letter

Answer: (C)

Verification through assignment-related documentation is required when requesting an academic absence. The rule expects you to include a screenshot of the assignment that was referenced in the request email. This ties the absence directly to a specific task, shows exactly what was missed, and establishes the timing and scope of the work affected. It creates a clear, verifiable record for both you and the administration, reducing ambiguity about what needs to be made up.

Documents like a doctor’s note address health concerns but don’t prove which assignment is involved, an unofficial text message is informal and lacks official status, and a parent letter may not demonstrate the actual assignment and deadlines in question. A screenshot of the assignment from the request email provides concrete evidence of the work tied to the absence.
