Academic Consideration

We understand that there may be times when you are unable to complete your academic responsibilities. School of Nursing students who are unable to complete their academic responsibilities for medical, religious, compassionate, or varsity reasons must receive academic consideration.

Students may request academic consideration for the following course-related components:


  • Class Attendance
  • Tutorial Attendance
  • Laboratory Attendance (for non-nursing courses only)
  • Final Exam
  • Lab Exam
  • Midterm Test
  • Test
  • Presentation
  • Group Work
  • Performance
  • Essay/Assignment
  • Quiz

To submit a request, or for frequently asked questions, please visit the Office of the Registrar's Academic Consideration page.

Absences from clinical learning (lab, sim, clinical) are NOT to be submitted through the Student Absence Portal. Nursing students must complete their program’s Absence from Clinical Learning form, found on the Nursing Undergraduate SharePoint site and should also review the School of Nursing’s Absence from Clinical Learning policy.
