Health Services encourages the development of responsible healthcare habits by holding students accountable for their decisions regarding class attendance. In cases of acute or severe illnesses requiring a recovery period we will provide a written statement as sick note for half or 1 day. These statements are provided on an individual basis. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate directly with his or her faculty or advisor. Faculty will decide whether the students may make up work missed and what effect the absences may have on the requirements of the course.

When a medical leave longer than 2 days is needed, the student needs to apply through Academic Services Office with supporting medical document.
