You should use your Guelph email address to notify your instructors of your illness and the anticipated time you will be away. Ensure you tell them if this time period impacts any assessments (i.e. tests) and/or deadlines (for papers) and specifically ask for academic consideration for those if needed. If it is an extended period of time (more than a few days) you may wish to consult your Program Counsellor on how to best manage your academic requirements.
If due to illness, you have missed or are going to miss a:
- Mid-term examination: you need to notify your professor from your Guelph email address and specifically ask for academic consideration (i.e. an alternate time to write).
- Final examination: you need to submit a Request for Academic Consideration to your Program Counselling Office.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The University will consider granting consideration for courses if there are sufficient extenuating medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances. Please carefully review the Academic Consideration policy and contact your program counsellors should you have more questions.
Students are expected to know their examination schedules (through their course syllabus and the examination schedule on WebAdvisor).
If you have mistakenly missed a:
- Mid-term examination: you need to notify your Professor from your Guelph email address, and inquire if anything can be done.
- Final examination: you need to notify your Program Counselling Office immediately from your Guelph email address, and inquire if anything can be done.
Contact your program counsellors for more information.
