What to do if you are ill

It is important that your doctor as well as your Personal Academic Tutor and Programme Director, Dr Craig Webber [Email: C.Webber@soton.ac.uk]) are immediately informed of any illness that is likely to affect your studies. If appropriate, your GP may inform your Personal Academic Tutor that you are experiencing some health difficulties that may affect your academic performance. This will be done with your consent and you may wish the details of your illness to be withheld from your Personal Academic Tutor, although you should think carefully about this (your tutor will, in any case, respect your privacy).

In the case of minor illness of up to five days, you should fill out a Self-Certification of Illness Form (found at the back of the Special Considerations/Extensions request form) and submit it to the Student Office.
