In respone to:
> A quick question about medical (self) certification:
..........
At Portsmouth we allow students to self-certify as sick for up to
seven days. However if the student is claiming illness has affected
performance in assessments or prevented their attendance at
examinations or caused them to miss assessment deadlines we require a
medical certificate. Some staff and students are not very happy
about this, because of the charge, but I see no alternative.
That's the formal position, but I can't say for certain that
attendance is monitored vigorously in all departments. If
assessments are not affected, I guess there's scope for some leeway.
