- Medical Certificate Policy
-
Trent Student Health Services strives to ensure that conditions are fair and consistent for all students. A medical certificate, commonly referred to as a “medical note,” “sick note,” or “doctor’s note,” will only be issued in situations where an illness or injury results in a significant disruption of academic work.
In all cases the student should first communicate with their instructor about their absence and/or missed coursework.
The medical certificate must be completed by the physician who personally examined the student at the time of their illness.
Medical certificates will not be issued under the following circumstances:
A recovered illness and/or previously missed labs or classes Minor illnesses (e.g. common colds, flu-like symptoms, bladder infections, headaches, etc.)All requests for documentation to support an academic appeal (i.e. retroactive withdrawal, incomplete standing, or aegrotat standing) should be sent to the Director of the Wellness Centre who will review the medical file and consult with medical staff as needed. Students pursuing an academic appeal should first consult with an Academic Advisor.
- A recognised disability or chronic health concern (see Student Accessibility Services for information about accommodations)
- Long term sleep/wake problems related to lifestyle
