Student sick notes

WE DO NOT ISSUE SICK NOTES FOR ILLNESS
LASTING FIVE DAYS OR LESS.

University regulations state that illness lasting:

• 0 - 5 days Does not require a doctor's certificate
Use university self-certificate form instead
• 6+ days Requires medical certification
See your doctor to request certification

If your illness lasts five days or less please complete a self-certification form, which can be obtained from our reception, from your faculty office or downloaded here. This remains the case even if an exam was affected by a short-term illness.
 


Medical reports

If you believe your academic performance has been affected by one or more illnesses or by an on-going problem and you are seeking an extension to a deadline, applying for special consideration or simply wish to inform your department then you should follow the university procedure for this process, namely:
 

1 Discuss your problem with your personal tutor or other department representative that can help with the problem
2 If you both agree that there are suitable grounds then both the student and tutor should complete the standard university form requesting a medical report
3 Bring the completed report request form to our reception
4 We will endeavour to prepare your report within five working days
5 Pay the applicable private report fee and collect the report from reception

You can download the university report request form here or obtain it from your department.
