why is it so hard to get medical special considerations?
i had a mid sem test on monday however i was too sick to attend (could barely walk without coughing and gasping for breath) so i emailed my unit convener and tutor to let them know. my tutor said i would need a medical certificate and the unit convener didn't respond. i got a medical certificate from the pharmacy and emailed it to them both, exactly as my tutor told me to do.
two days later my unit convener emails me saying i need to apply for special consideration, so i do and it was denied because they don't accept medical certificates from the pharmacy which i think is ridiculous. im going to try and get a medical certificate from a doctor but now i'm worried that it won't get accepted and im gonna fail this class.
is this normal? is there a better way for me to do this? any advice would be appreciated
