Medical Note Requests

Requests for notes are an uninsured service and appointments booked for this purpose are not medically necessary, therefore a fee for the visit and the note is necessary. Please check your course outline or confirm with your academic advisor that you need a medcial certificate prior to requesting one.

Where a note request occurs after the illness, our providers do not have a method to verify the authenticity of the absence/illness and may:

  • Decline completion of the notes/documents
  • Provide a document indicating the patient was not assessed but reports to have been absent with illness.

Medical Certificates can be obtained from Student Health & Wellness Services for a fee. For a full list of fees, please visit our Fees page.

  1. At the time of illness, make an appointment with a physician at Student Health & Wellness Services.
  2. During this appointment, request a Student Medical Certificate, from the Physician.
  3. Go to Student Health & Wellness Services to make your payment and pick up the form. Payment arrangements must be determined prior to receiving completed documents.
