Instructors are encouraged to implement the Student Declaration of Absence Form for winter 2020 courses. Implementing the Student Declaration of Absence Form as part of a course is done through Brightspace. Simply log in to Brightspace, select "Student Declaration of Absence" from the drop-down menu, and choose the course(s) in which you would like to implement the Student Declaration of Absence Form.

The discretion to arrange alternate coursework, assignments and/or tests remains with the instructor. Please be sure to inform students how to submit the form in your course (e.g. in Brightspace, via email, etc.) by including this information in handbooks, syllabi and guidelines, as well as in work-integrated/fieldwork policies.Ìý 

The Faculties of Medicine, Law, Dentistry and the College of Pharmacy will continue to be exempt from the new regulation and will not be using the Student Declaration of Absence Form. These faculties have separate regulations to cover short- and long-term absences.

 Further details about the Student Absence Declaration Form are available at dal.ca/studentabsence.Ìý
