The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology is committed to supporting students who need to defer a midterm exam or other in-course assessments, or who have missed class, when no official supporting documentation is available.
In line with the Quebec government’s directive to reduce the strain on an already taxed healthcare system, students are no longer required to submit a medical note for incidental illnesses lasting fewer than five days.
However, supporting documentation is still required in the following cases:
-
For illness-related absences of five (5) or more days
-
For all non-medical deferral or absence requests
Valid documentation must be submitted to the Course Coordinator within five (5) working days of the original assessment or missed class date.
