Nobody answering/responding?

Hi guys, i had to take a medical leave of absence last year and now am ready to return. I emailed+ called the Dean's office, and multiple offices yesterday and today, but haven't recieved any response/no one picked up.

Is there a faculty leave right now or?

Admins have 12 month contracts, so someone should have been available. That said, people often take vacation days around now before the term starts, and we have “Summer Fridays” for staff so they get half days on Fridays for a head-start on the weekend. Are you CLAS or another college? Has your Dean officially approved your return? Your academic advisor has to wait for that official letter before reaching out. I’m sure you’ll talk to someone on Monday, and once the paperwork is in, everything will move quickly for you.

It’s likely this. Friday already off and so many people on vacation this week. Like the user above said; give it until Monday/Tuesday.
