For Medical Leave, students must submit their MC via the Short Leave System within 7 working days. Late submissions may result in a zero mark for any missed assessment.

  • If students do not receive the outcome after 5 working days, please contact the school at cceb_ugmatters@ntu.edu.sg.
  • Students granted Short Leave are responsible for catching up on missed lessons and course requirements.
  • If students miss a compulsory class or assessment, they should email the Course Coordinator on the same day to discuss the appropriate follow-up arrangements.
