Dealing with illness
From time to time, you may need to take time off from your studies due to ill health. This could range from a couple of days right through to having to suspend your studies to recuperate from serious illness or surgery.
In the first instance (and in the first few days of illness), it is important that you contact your Student Zone within the nearest LRC. Staff will then inform your course tutors. Should the period of illness (regardless of length) cover an assessment period, then you should refer to the Personal Mitigating Circumstances (PMC) procedures within this Handbook, or alternatively speak to their personal or course tutor.
If your sickness/ill-health is long term, you may want to think about suspending your studies until you feel able to continue. In this instance, you should contact the Student Zone in your nearest LRC and they will put you in touch with Student Advice and Wellbeing to discuss options and how to go about suspending. There will be implications to suspending (including financial) and these will need to be worked through prior to any decision.
In some cases, illness may leave students with long-term health conditions and/or disabilities. Staff within the Student Advice and Wellbeing team will also be able to give further advice on disability issues and provisions available
