If you are unwell, it's important to contact your Tutor or Programme Support Co-ordinator to let them know you will be absent from class.
If your absence is prolonged or if you need to request an extension/s for due assignments, you may be asked to provide a medical certificate, to provide evidence of a genuine reason for absence.
