Long-term Absences
Students experiencing long-term absences that span a number of weeks over an academic term are encouraged to contact an Academic Counsellor to discuss how this might affect progression and to review options for moving forward.
Notes
- If you think you may qualify for ongoing accommodation (e.g. separate room to write exams, flexibility with deadlines, etc.) that will be recognized in all your courses, we encourage you to visit Accessible Education for more information.
- Please visit Western’s Policy on Academic Consideration for more information.
- Please visit our Social Science Help Portal if you are inquiring about course work missed prior to September 1, 2024.
- Missed makeup tests/exams for courses that have now ended cannot be handled through the new Student Absence Portal. Please visit our Social Science Help Portal for assistance in these cases.
