Policy on Excused Absences

Students unable to attend classes due to certain reasons should submit leave form from 7 days prior to the day-off. Without approval, it would be regarded as an absence. The procedure cannot be supplemented after an absence. If it meets an emergent or unexpected condition, one should formally inform the chief of the department immediately and then complete the application on the next day; or the chief of the department could ask our administrative staff to assist our students, however, the relevant evidence documentation should be approved by the deputy chief and be sent to the medical education department within the next seven days (since the first day-off), otherwise, it would still be regarded as an absence.
