Subject: Out of office Re: Tomorrow’s Paper Deadline
Hello!
I will be out of the office until next Wednesday. I won’t be checking email during my absence, so don’t expect a response until Thursday at the earliest. If this is an emergency, please reach out to the department secretary. Her information is below. If this is regarding an assignment, all exams and papers are due on their deadline. No exceptions unless it’s a medical emergency. Anything turned in after the deadline will result in a failing grade.
