Illness
Review OWL Brightspace and/or the course outline to look for any comments from your instructor regarding academic consideration procedures. Inform your instructor or course/lab coordinator (OWL Brightspace or your course outline may indicate who to contact) immediately about the course component you will not be able to attend or complete.
- Complete an Request for Academic Consideration Form
- Documentation Required:
- Completed Student Medical Certificate, preferred as per Senate policy
- Emergency Department, Urgent Care notes may be accepted if the information is sufficient enough - duration of illness, impact on academics, and the severity of illness.
Procedure
You must submit your documentation to fnsinfo@uwo.ca - within two (2) business days of resuming academic responsibilities. If approved, your instructor will be notified of your consideration and you must connect with your instructor to determine how to make up the missed coursework. If a consideration request is approved for a December or April exam, you will be issued a Recommendation for Special Exam form instead, and instructions on next steps
NOTE: Please do not come into our office in person when you are ill. All documentation should be submitted electronically to fnsinfo@uwo.ca.
