Hi I will be missing the first day of college. I go to the University of Maryland College Park. I cannot attend class on the first day for various reasons. (Other members might know why but that is besides the point). How do I make up missed work and receive missed syllabi? I do not live in a dorm either. I will be living at home.
Thanks everyone
P.S To the moderator who closed my last thread. I should have asked my question more clearly. What I posted right now is what I should have wrote. I am not trying to spam. I just need advice. If you have a problem please contact me.
Thanks
-Thanks for your help everyone.
You’ll have to bother each and every one of your professors the next day to get the missed work. They will probably have already pointed out the part on the syllabus where it might say not to do this. So you’ll be starting off on the wrong foot with EVERY professor, if they’re like the majority of mine and hate when people ask “What did I miss?”
Sorry what I meant to ask the moderator was that my last forum was closed, and that I will ask the question more clearly. If any moderators have problems with this post please contact me.
I do not want to cause any future problems on this forum. I will work any issues out with any moderators who have problems with this post.

If I was you, I would try to make it to the first day. Unless you have a REALLY legitimate reason, you’re starting off on the wrong foot. Anyway,just email professors two or three days before the start of the semester and explain, and ask if you could have a copy of the syllabus so that you don’t start behind.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: You’ve already gotten a lot of good advice. @bodangles answer in post #1 is all you need to know. I am closing this thread. Do not start another one on this topic.
