Absence during the semester
If you are ill or cannot be present, you should notify all relevant parties, including fellow students, mentors, lecturers and experts. It is crucial that these persons are contacted as soon as possible. After your return, you can get in touch with them again to make arrangements to get back on track. If your illness or absence takes more than a few days, it is likely to affect your academic progress and possibly cause a study delay. In this case you should contact your mentor and academic advisor right away.
Absence during deadline/exam period
If you are ill during a deadline period, you should contact the academic advisor immediately (within 24 hours). You should also notify fellow students with whom you collaborate and the mentor/lecturers/examiners involved.
Contact details for the academic advisors can be found on the Contact page.
