Mine seem to always have a "personal issue." Clearly, that covers anything and everything. I have a blanket two absences only rule. They don't need to tell me what their "personal issue" is (though they usually do, for some reason...I guess hoping I'll extend the number of absences they're allowed, though I almost never do) and I suggest they save those two for emergencies. If they miss a test (I give four throughout the semester), they take a makeup on the day of the final.
