A student may request a Medical Excuse (ME) for an exam. A student may request only one ME per 12-month period. A student must fill out the ME form on the Members Center of the SGU Portal [Medical excuse form submit it before the time of the first scheduled examination to be missed. This student is excused from all examinations falling within seven (7) days of the ME submission. If a student recovers during the examination period, he/she may attend any remaining examinations that are scheduled.
If a student attempts to submit the ME form more than once in a 12-month period, they will be denied the Medical Excuse and must sit the examination(s).

The University may elect to place the student on a mandatory Medical Leave of Absence should the student’s medical condition prevent them from making normal progress through the Doctor of Medicine program. If a student makes a second ME request within 12 months, the student shall receive a written notice about the consequences of not sitting the examination(s).
