Apology For Missing College Class

Dear {Professor},

I am writing to apologize for missing your {Class Name and Number} class on {date}.

I wish I had been able to reach out beforehand, but unfortunately {true emergency/family issue/sudden illness}. I am now in the process of dealing with the situation, and plan to be in class on {date}.

I truly value the opportunity to take your class, and my absence does not reflect my commitment to my education.

{Optionally, request access to missed material, or affirm that you have reached out to a Teaching Assistant.}

I appreciate any leeway you can extend me in light of this unusual circumstance.

Sincerely,

{Name}
