Procedure for Submitting a Medical Excuse

To submit a medical excuse, the student uses the Medical Excuse link on the University Portal. This self-report form should be submitted before the end of the scheduled examination time. The Medical Excuse covers all exams within a 7-day period starting from the date of submission of the Medical Excuse. If a student becomes able to take some or all of the examinations during the timeframe covered by the Medical Excuse, he/she may take any remaining examinations. If a student makes a second Medical Excuse request within 12 months, then the student receives a written notice about his/her ineligibility for a second Medical Excuse and is apprised of the consequences of missing the examination(s).

Note: Students may not request a Medical Excuse once they have started an exam. Once a student has started an exam, a score will be submitted and contribute to the student’s grade, irrespective of how much of the exam is completed. Therefore, students are strongly discouraged from taking an exam if they are unwell.
