Legitimate excuse to miss class?

Yeah like others have said, just skip class and go - that sounds like a great opportunity. Take it.

It is not a legit excuse - professors can pretty much set whatever attendance policy they want. And generally that means that only unavoidable things like serious illness or family emergencies are excused. Obviously professors can make exceptions and whatnot, but they are certainly not required to. I would go, even if it meant the possibility of losing a point or two.
