Requests should be made as early as reasonably possible. We understand that some issues may make it impossible for you to report until you've received medical attention or support for a traumatic event.
Depending on the situation, your academic advising office or course instructor will manage your request.
Read the course syllabus
First, check the course syllabus to determine the options you have for making up missed work in your course.
If the work you missed is optional (e.g., it's one of several quizzes and two can be missed without penalty), you may not need to make up for the missed work.
Check with your advising office

If you don’t see your faculty in the list above, contact your faculty’s academic advising office.
You can also contact your faculty’s academic advisor if the following applies to you:
- You’re unsure whether you’re eligible for an academic concession.
- Your circumstance or situation lasts more than a few days.
- You continue to face difficult life events repeatedly.
