Reminder: Include the SDA Form in your courses

Posted by Student Health & Wellness on August 13, 2024 in General Announcements

罢丑别听Student Declaration of Absence (SDA) Form聽was introduced to聽replace sick notes聽for absences of three days or fewer that result in missed or late academic requirements. The SDA聽Form functions the same as a sick note does. Instructors are given the option to implement this form in their courses, and whether they will arrange for alternate coursework, tests, etc.

Instructors are聽encouraged to include the Student Declaration of Absence Form in their Brightspace course information, where students will be able to access, complete and submit their form for missed academic requirements聽in your course.

Should you choose to implement the form in your courses, please include the information in your syllabus to ensure your students know that it is available.

The submission of the form聽does not provide an automatic exemption聽from any academic requirements that were missed or late during an absence. Any alternate coursework arrangements for missed or late academic requirements are at the discretion of individual course instructor.

The form will not apply if you have not authorized it for use in your course. The Faculties鈥痮f Engineering, Medicine, Law, Dentistry and the College鈥痮f鈥疨harmacy are exempt from this regulation and will鈥痭ot鈥痓e using the Student Declaration of Absence Form. These faculties have separate regulations to cover short- and long-term鈥痑bsences.

Learn more about the鈥疭tudent鈥疉bsence鈥疍eclaration鈥疐orm, and how you can implement it in your course, on the聽聽(myDal login聽required).
