Declaration of Extenuating Circumstances

Faculty of Arts form

Students who miss class work or a test during the teaching period (first day of class to last day of class) can submit a Declaration of Extenuating Circumstances to their home Academic Advising Office.

Instructors shall not normally request that students contact or visit medical professionals solely for the purpose of obtaining medical documentation for acute illnesses that impact assessments held during the teaching period. Review Academic Regulation 8 for more information.

Any questions about the Declaration of Extenuating Circumstances form can be emailed to BAadvising@smu.ca.

Students must use their @smu.ca email when submitting the form.
