ABSENCES DUE TO ILLNESS

Students who are unable to meet a course requirement through illness in any form should advise their instructors at the earliest opportunity--preferably in advance of the course requirement deadline.

Instructors may, at their discretion, require submission of medical certificates for verification of absence for reasons of illness, especially when this coincides with a significant assessment period. In the case of absence from final examinations, such verification is mandatory and shall be deposited by the student with the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered who will inform the instructor and Department Chair concerned.

University Student Health Services will normally issue verification of illness only in the case of serious or long term illness or in cases involving absence from final examinations or other significant assessment periods. In these latter instances, verification is normally contingent upon the student's being medically assessed before the examination.
