Having accommodations for some unexcused absences and epilepsy while professors still ask for a doctors note is so stupid. Ya let me spend 3k to see a doctor to say “I had a seizure today” or message my neurologist to say I had a seizure 7 hours ago.

Maybe talk to the disability office and see if they can help?

^ my neurologist couldn’t even confirm the fact I had a seizure, all he could do is confirm “yes she has epilepsy” and going to the ER/hospital couldn’t confirm it either unless I had a seizure captured WHILE I was there but you get my point. What’s the point of that “unexcused periodic” accommodation if some professors still require a doctors note.
