Illness

Review OWL and/or the course outline to look for any comments from your instructor regarding academic consideration procedures. Inform your instructor or course/lab coordinator (OWL or your course outline may indicate who to contact) immediately about the course component you will not be able to attend or complete.

  • Documentation Required:
    • Completed Student Medical Certificate, preferred as per Senate policy
    • Emergency Department, Urgent Care notes may be accepted if the information is sufficient enough - duration of illness, impact on academics, and the severity of illness.

Procedure

You must submit your documentation to your academic advisor within two (2) business days of resuming academic responsibilities. If approved, your instructor will be notified of your consideration and you must connect with your instructor to determine how to make up the missed coursework.

NOTE: Please do not come into our office in person when you are still ill. You can submit documentation retroactively once you are well again.
