It’s mandatory for you to attend every class. In the case of illness or an emergency, please call the UTS College student centre on (02) 9218 866.

If you experience serious illness or a traumatic incident that affects your performance in an assessment item, you may be eligible for special consideration.

There’s more, below, about attendance and how to submit a medical certificate for missed classes.

Accidents or illnesses that affect your studies

Accidents or illnesses can compromise your ability to complete assessments or exams. To arrange extensions or different exam times, you’ll need to contact one of our Student Success Advisers to request special consideration.

   There’s more helpful information on the health and wellbeing and study support pages.

Medical and health concerns

If you’re sick and can’t attend classes, you’ll need to see a doctor and get a medical certificate (which you’ll submit at the Student Centre on your first day back). You can book a confidential appointment with the UTS Health service.

There’s more information about attendance and submitting medical certificates in our Attendance Policies and Procedures.

If being sick or injured prevents you from handing in assignments or attending exams, contact a Student Success Advisers to discuss special consideration.

Changing your program or withdrawing

Sometimes you might find that you didn’t choose the best program for you, or your circumstances change, and you need to study something else or not study at all.

Before making any changes to your enrolment, it’s essential to discuss your situation with a Student Success Adviser.

They’ll talk through your problem and help work out your best options. There’s more about this on the Changing Programs page.
