What must accompany an academic absence request?

• A. A calendar invite
• B. A screenshot of the assignment provided in the request email
• C. A doctor's note
• D. An email from professor

Answer: (B)

When you request an academic absence, you want to provide concrete evidence of what will be missed and when it’s due. A screenshot of the assignment details included with the request is the most effective because it shows exactly which tasks are affected, their due dates, and the scope of work. This makes it clear to the instructor what needs to be scheduled, extended, or made up, and it creates a transparent record for both you and the professor.

A calendar invite doesn’t share the assignment content or deadlines, a doctor’s note is only necessary for medical absences, and an email from the professor isn’t something you attach to justify your absence.
