Sorry about starting a new MSAF thread but I woke up today and I was sick and was unable to attend a tutorial (you get marked in the tutorial). I was wondering, do I have to fill out the MSAF today or can I do it tomorrow? Because I wanted to go ask the course coordinator that, instead of using an MSAF, can I just sit in another tutorial section. So can I fill out the MSAF tomorrow for today's tutorial?

You sure you want to use the MSAF on a tutorial? You can only use it once per term.

MSAF lasts for 5 days. You can submit an MSAF at any time during that 5 day period. For example, if you miss the tutorial on Thursday, you can submit the MSAF on Monday. Or, if you know you won't be able to make it tomorrow, you can submit it today.
It's only February (read: you could get a whole lot sicker before finals) and why would you use it for a participation mark anyway?

The McMaster Student Absence Form (MSAF) is a self reporting tool for undergraduate students to report absences that last up to 5 days and provides the ability to request accommodation for any missed academic work.

Really? You're going to use it because of ONE missed tutorial out of god knows how many?
