Should a student, due to illness, be unable to write an examination or, whilst taking the examination, be unable to complete the examination, a medical certificate issued by a qualified and registered medical practitioner must be submitted to SAGMA within 24 hours of such incident.
Disability or illness during exams
Should a student be unable to write an examination on the specified date, they or their training officer/mentor must contact the SAGMA Course Administrator, in writing, at least seven (7) working days before the examination date citing reasons for preventing them from writing the said examination. After consideration of stated reason/s, the Training Committee may afford the student an alternative date within a week after the initial examination date.
If a student cannot write an examination on a specified date and has been granted permission to write the examination, a different examination paper will be set for this purpose. All costs related to writing, invigilation, and other related administration costs, will be for the cost of the student.
If a student is granted permission to take the examination but is unable to do so, they won’t receive any additional consideration. However, they might be allowed to take the exam in the next semester. In that case, they will need to redo the progress question related to this module. Please note that the student will be responsible for any applicable administration fees.
