Absence due to death?
Could someone please tell me who you contact when there has been a death in the family, causing you to miss classes, as well as unable to complete assignments. Who do I talk to about this? I am in the school of social work. I can not seem to find any information of weather there is one single person to contact or if i have to contact all of my professors individually. Does anyone know if they will give me extensions for assignments? Please someone help me?
Thank you.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. There was a death in my family last year, I just sent my soc work profs emails and they were all very understanding. Didn't have to go through the associate dean for extensions.

i think you may need to contact each prof individually for missing any tests/assignments and defer/extend them, but it shouldnt be an issue
