Students may be excused from classes due to sickness, demise of an immediate family member, military services or representing the Institute in external events, provided that these absences are supported with valid documentary proof issued by relevant authorities, i.e. the Medical Certificate (MC) must be issued by a medical practitioner / dentist registered with the Singapore Medical/Dental Council and should cover the period of sick leave. In order to be excused for a specific class absence, select the correct class details via SRS within 7 calendar days of your return. In addition, apply for a Short Leave with SIT via IN4SIT. Late submissions will not be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Students who are medically unwell and absent from an examination, an MC must be submitted within 24 hours of the missed examination. In the event of a serious illness or hospitalization, family members may submit the MC / doctor’s letter to the Registrar’s Office on the student’s behalf during office hours, or email a scanned copy of the document to registrar.sg@digipen.edu. Failure to do so or late submissions will not be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances.
