Medical Self-Declaration Form

In the case of students becoming ill, they can be granted the use of the BrockU Medical Self-Declaration Form. The form acts in place of a doctor’s note for short term illnesses lasting 72 hours or less. While not required, instructors may find it helpful to facilitate student use of this form through Brightspace, where submissions can be tracked and recorded.

The form can be found here:

Tracking Medical Self-Declaration Form Submissions

CPI recommends making use of the Assignments tool to track submissions of the Medical Self-Declaration form. Instructors can create an assignment with the form file attached, and set the assignment to only allow for one file and one submission. This will make it so students can only submit the form once across the duration of the course.

Download an Assignment Package

CPI has created a .zip file containing a pre-made assignment for the Medical Self-Declaration form. Instructors need only download the zip file, then import it into their site as a Brightspace package using the Import/Export/Copy Components tool.
