An excused absence is a situation in which a student, employee or member of an organization is allowed to be away from their educational institution, workplace or commitment with a legitimate reason and proper notification. The specifics of what qualifies as a legitimate reason can vary by institution or employer but often include illnesses, family emergencies, religious observances, and other significant personal events where the individual cannot reasonably be expected to attend. In most cases, documentation or proof such as a doctor’s note may be required to validate the excuse.

On the other hand, an unexcused absence refers to instances where an individual fails to attend their obligation such as school or work without providing adequate reason or without prior approval. Instances such as missing class without notification or failing to show up for work because of oversleeping would typically be counted as unexcused absences. These types of absences can lead to various consequences depending on the policies of the respective institution or employer. Such consequences might include disciplinary action, reduced grades, loss of attendance-based incentives, or even termination from employment.
