Physics at Lancaster University

If you are ill, you should immediately inform your:

1. college office, especially if you believe that the condition is contagious

2. Physics Department Teaching Officers in room A4 (and your major Department if Physics is not your major). Tel: ext 94786; 01524 594786.

4. speak to your Director of Study as soon as possible

If you feel that your illness or injury is affecting your work, you should complete a Student Self-Certification Medical Note available from room A4. This will cover you for up to seven days for absences from classes.

This self certification form cannot be used if you are forced by illness or injury to miss a University examination or a Departmental assessment test or oral examination. Two consecutive self-certification forms are not allowed. You must produce a medical note from your doctor if the condition persists or if you are forced to miss an examination, test or oral examination.

The self-certification form should be submitted to the Physics Teaching Officer who will inform your Director of Study.

If you are repeatedly ill during the year, and are therefore frequently submitting self-certification forms, you are strongly advised to provide the Department with a medical certificate from your doctor confirming the details of your illness or condition.

University assessment regulations contain specific procedures to allow medical evidence to be taken in account in your final assessment, so it is important to keep your Director of Studies informed of any problems.
