UNB Wide Academic Regulations - Attendance

"It is expected that most problems caused by a student's absence from class, including absence from mid-term tests, can be resolved with the instructor concerned.  If through sickness or other unavoidable cause, a student is absent from classes, the student must advise the instructors immediately upon return to classes.  The instructor may request suitable documentation if such confirmation is considered necessary.  Health certificates will be accepted for consideration only from the health care professional who attended the student during the period of absence." 

In accordance with this regulation we cannot consider any request for documentation of absence or illness unless a student has spoken with their instructor first.  Nor can we provide documentation of absence or illness for students who were not seen at the Student Health Centre or by another health professional during the period of absence or illness.

For those circumstances where medical consideration may impact a students' academic performance the UNB Student Advocate, Wilfred Langmaid or STU Academic Support may be very helpful to you.
