All matriculated students are expected to attend all assigned academic activities for each course currently registered. Medical excuses will be based on self-reporting by students to the Dean of Students Office via the Medical Excuse Form: SAS, MPH, Pre-Professional Medical, and Veterinary Sciences Programs.
Students who feel they are too sick to take an examination or other required activity on a specific day must submit the online medical excuse, which is available on the SGU Portal. Students are only allowed a total of two such excuses in two consecutive semesters. If a third excuse is submitted within two consecutive semesters, the Office of the Dean of Students will consult with the Director of University Health Service and a medical leave of absence may be mandated.
Students who miss an examination with a submitted excuse and wish to petition for a completion exam should contact their Course Instructor.
