The Faculty is mindful that from time to time students may have emergencies that do not require students to be away from their studies for extended periods, thereby enabling them to continue with their studies within any given semester.  In such instances, students can be granted limited emergency leave from the programme, for short periods not exceeding one week in any one semester/clerkship rotation.  Students should make the necessary request on the Request for Emergency Leave Leave of Absence Form for approval by the relevant officers in the Department and the Dean’s Office.
