What happens if I miss a laboratory class because I am sick?
If you miss a laboratory class because you are ill, contact the instructor or relevant university office as soon as possible and provide medical documentation if required. Depending on the course, you may be offered a make-up class, another laboratory session, or an alternative assignment, but missing a required experiment can affect your grade or credit. Check the syllabus and official university or faculty guidance for the specific procedure.
Key points
- Notify the instructor or relevant office promptly after the absence.
- Ask about make-up sessions, a rescheduled experiment, or an alternative assignment.
- For laboratory courses, attendance or completion of the experiment may be required for grading or credit.
Things to check
- The required notification, documentation, make-up arrangements, and effect on grades vary by university, faculty, and course.
