We strongly encourage you to participate in the hybrid teaching model. Nevertheless, if for personal or family reasons you are unable to do so, the School is committed to finding alternative remedial solutions in exceptional circumstances. If there is a travel ban from the country where you are, if you or a family member are at risk from coronavirus, you may submit a “request for exemption from physical presence at School” attaching all necessary documentation (travel itinerary, boarding passes, medical declarations, etc.).

Request: Exemption from On-Campus Classes

* Every request will be analysed on a case-by-case scenario.

Absence justifications will only be accepted if you provide EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE. The Absence Form should be submitted within two days after the date of the class. If necessary, the substantiation documents can be provided later, but always within five working days after the date of the class. At the end of this time period, the absence justification will be automatically declared invalid.

UPDATE - COVID-19
(17 March 2020)

In these exceptional moments, in addition to the regular acceptable justifications for absences, we are including the following:

- if a student is travelling during the exam time back home;
- if a student or a next of kin is hospitalized. 

Other reasons (e.g., time difference or jetlag) will not be considered as justified absences. As usual, the students should follow the “request for justified absence” procedure. Students need to submit the Absence form, attaching all necessary documentation (travel itinerary, boarding passes, hospital declaration, etc).

When validated, the new exam date will be scheduled by Student Affairs and exams will be made available remotely.
