A special consideration form is not guaranteed.
Start my Notre Dame consultNotre Dame's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
Applications go through Emailed to Student Administration.
Within three business days of the due date. See a doctor the day you are unwell, not after the deadline.
Notre Dame's special consideration procedure asks for supporting evidence such as a medical certificate or a Certification of Health Professional, and does not address telehealth or modality either way.
The date you were seen and the period the condition affected you. That the condition prevented you completing the assessment or working to your usual standard.
Notre Dame does not grant an extension unless both the application form and the supporting evidence are supplied. One without the other is not enough. For an application on medical grounds you may be asked for a Certification of Health Professional as well as, or instead of, a plain certificate. Check which the form asks for before your appointment.

Notre Dame's special consideration procedure does not address telehealth or modality. It asks for supporting evidence such as a medical certificate from a health professional. Contact Student Administration if you want the position confirmed before you apply.
Three business days from the due date of the assessment. Lodging later means explaining the delay, so start the process while you are still unwell rather than after you recover.
An extension of time, a replacement assessment, or other tailored relief decided by the Campus Student Adviser. Applying does not guarantee that relief will be granted.
Yes. Notre Dame states that an extension will not be granted unless you supply both the application form and the supporting evidence. Sending a certificate on its own will not start the process.
Notre Dame's process, in the order it happens.
A real-time special consideration consult. Tell the doctor the exam or due date; the certificate covers those dates.
Within three business days of the due date.
The medical certificate after a real-time doctor call.
Notre Dame may contact the practice to confirm the consultation. The link on each document answers that.
What the certificate must state, and what gets it refused.
The date you were seen and the period the condition affected you. That the condition prevented you completing the assessment or working to your usual standard. The practitioner's name, registration and practice details. A signature and the date of issue.

For an application on medical grounds you may be asked for a Certification of Health Professional as well as, or instead of, a plain certificate. Check which the form asks for before your appointment. Applications go to the relevant Campus Student Adviser by email through Student Administration, so keep a copy of what you sent and when. Applying does not guarantee relief. The Campus Student Adviser decides on the evidence in front of them.
Four outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
Special consideration covers illness, misadventure, bereavement or other circumstances outside your control that stopped you completing an assessment or working to your usual standard. You apply within three business days of the due date, with evidence.
An extension is the most common relief: extra time to submit the same assessment. Notre Dame will not grant one unless you supply both the application form and supporting evidence such as a medical certificate.
Where an extension does not fit, for example a timed or in-class task, Notre Dame can set a replacement assessment. The evidence needs to show you were unable to attend or complete the original task on the day.
If illness stops you sitting a final exam, apply through the deferred exam route rather than the general special consideration form. Apply as early as you can, because outcomes are slower during peak exam periods.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate Notre Dame asks you to attach.
