I received one of these from a potential future student, asking for time off.

Problem is, when I look at this 'Official form' - my spidey sense is jumping to 11. So my question, how does one verify? I'm thinking of asking this person to grant me permission to followup, but before I do this - I would like to know whether or not this is going to be 'easy'.

Last time, KP gave me the run around - and only admitted that the form was fake, after I pointed out dates that made no sense ( years were changing all over the map).

Honestly, I can't help but to think that KP ought to have an automated way for a person to grant ( temporarily ) the ability to check on something like this. I'm sure I'm not the first professor/teacher with this sort of issue.

Plus, I see on sites like coursehero (etc) these forms for the taking... so...
