The 3 "free" absences should cover any need to recover from a virus, meet your grandmother at the airport, accompany your husband on a business trip, coordinate with your home plumber, etc.
Do not ask that these minor absences be excused.
If, however, extraordinary circumstances present themselves, please talk to the instructor about the absences.
Attending the lecture only of a studio class will be counted as an absence.
