This is not so much a notification of absence, but rather one of reduced presence..
I have just began an MA in Professional Communications and I entered the first residency period on Monday, which means I am going to be insanely busy over the next three weeks. I should be able to check in once a day, I suspect at night, and if I have time, perhaps before I leave in the morning while hunched over coffee.
However, if any problems come up during the day, I won't be able to deal with them, so just an FYI
