What is a student sick leave letter?
A student’s sick leave letter, also known as a mitigating circumstances letter or student or university mitigation letter, acts as a document that justifies a student’s absence from his/her academic institution. This student’s sick note explains the unforeseen circumstances under which a student is unable to submit assignments on time, attend assessments or do well in the assessments completed in time. It acts as a communication between the student and the university or college regarding the circumstances where the student is unable to perform to his/her full capacity due to an illness or sickness.
Doctor’s note for academic institutions
Academic institutions such as colleges and universities will have policies and resources in place to aid struggling students who cannot do well at school due to certain circumstances such as illnesses, injuries, personal situations, trauma, mental health issues and more. These institutions need a doctor’s note to indicate how genuine and serious the situation of the student. This sick note for students helps the university understand their condition better and helps them make better choices in supporting their academics. Hola provides trusted student sick notes approved by a registered medical professional.

What our patients say
Great service, so easy to use. Sometimes you are just sick with a head cold or flu and need a day off but also not well enough to drive yourself to the doctor and sit and wait for hours, just to be told you have a virus and need bed rest. This is a stress free way of getting the rest you need to get well while providing your work place or school with the necessary documentation.
– Carrie Ann NatsiaQuick and easy doctor’s appointments. If you don’t want to wait for a doctor in a medical centre for long periods of time for something that you know just needs rest, I highly recommend this alternative.
– Winnie ShepardThis GP service is the greatest. Quick, easy, effective and cheap. No making appointments or queues, no waiting, no expensive up front fees, the documentation you need for your day when you want it. I wish the rest of life was like Hola!
