To add some context I’ve been given and accepted an appointment to the class of 2028. There is a very good chance that saying goodbye to my grandfather before I leave for bct will be the last chance that I see him. Sorry for such a grim topic but I haven’t been able to find any answers to my question in regards to if I can take a couple days to go to a funeral/celebration of life during the academic year as he isn’t technically immediate family. I understand that it would probably be impossible to leave during bct but I couldn’t find anything about the rest of the year.
