Missing Class, Instances of Personal Distress or Emergency

The Pratt School of Engineering and Trinity College of Arts and Sciences recognize that some students may need to deal with instances of personal distress or emergency that have an impact on academic life as well as campus life. Note that Duke Reach is also a resource for emergencies. 

Students:

If you encounter a situation that is especially difficult for you, inform your academic dean of the situation.  Your academic dean will assist you in planning how to manage your situation. 

Instructors:

Please refer a student who is struggling with personal issues to their academic dean and/or notify the academic dean if a student seems to be distressed and struggling.
