Class of 2029,

The maximum number of students permitted to request an absence for the same day has been reached for Friday, January 16, 2026 (See Pre-Clerkship Student Attendance Policy statement 3.9).

There is no further action required for those students who have received approval for requests in Entrada. Some requests received recently have been denied as they exceed the limit for the class – please check the status of/messages attached to your request in Entrada and follow the instructions provided in the comment (also at the bottom of this message) if you are unable to attend.

The remainder of your class should plan to attend your mandatory session(s) that day:

• MD1 – Wellness Fair

Note that absences beyond the class limit for unanticipated or emergency reasons can still be approved, but must be requested in Entrada under PRE-CLERKSHIP – Exception (Student Affairs) for individual review. 

Thank you,

Maggie Eade, Pre-Clerkship Program Lead, UGME
