Student Assistance & absence information
Mission Statement: Student Assistance educates students on how to self-advocate and effectively navigate university policies, procedures and processes.
Student Assistance is a service provided through the Division of Student Affairs. Student Assistance navigates and supports students through many situations and challenges. If a student has missed a minimum of 3 (three) class days due to an appropriate matter (illness, injury, personal, or family emergency), a formal absence letter may be circulated to professors verifying the absence. Students are highly encouraged to contact their professors for academic guidance relating to missed work due to their absence.
To utilize this service, the student or family member completes the Request Instructor Notification for Absences Form and uploads supporting documentation directly relating to the absence. In some cases, if a student is unable to return to one or more of their classes, Student Assistance can discuss enrollment options. Students or family members may email StudentAssistance@wcupa.edu or call 610-436-3086 to discuss options.
