What should I do if I can't attend teaching sessions due to personal, medical, or other reasons?

If you can’t attend classes due to personal, medical, or other reasons, and this affects your progress, such as your ability to complete assessments, you should let your department know and, if necessary, seek an extension or record special circumstances.

Please do not ask staff to approve any absences that are due to medical or personal circumstances

If you are facing a personal challenge which is impacting on your ability to attend class or sit and submit assessments, there are a range of support services to help you. They include financial support and guidance, assistance with disability matters, and additional academic support with key skills. Please visit Student Services: Aberystwyth University for more information.
