When to write a sick leave application
Write a sick leave application when illness keeps you away from classes, either in advance if you know you will be away, or when you rejoin after being sick. It explains your absence, attaches medical proof and asks for leave to be considered as per your college's attendance rules.
If you missed an internal test, practical or submission, mention it so your teacher can tell you whether a retest or late submission is possible. For a general leave for other reasons, use the leave application for college tool instead.
Documents usually attached
- Medical certificate from a registered doctor
- Fitness certificate when you rejoin after a longer illness
- Prescription or hospital discharge summary, if asked
Whether medical leave counts towards attendance, and how many days are allowed, varies by college and university. Check with your class teacher or department.
Format and sample
Address it to your class teacher, mentor, HOD or principal, as your college requires. Give the illness in simple words and the exact dates.

Frequently asked questions
Can I write a sick leave application after I rejoin?
Yes. Choose 'I was sick (after rejoining)' and the letter will use the past tense and mention a fitness certificate.
Will medical leave count in my attendance?
That depends on your college or university rules. Use the medical leave attendance calculator to see the effect either way.
Should I describe my illness in detail?
No. A simple description such as viral fever or a stomach infection is enough; the medical certificate gives the details.
Is this tool free?
Yes. You fill a short form once when you see your first result, and the other Uncodemy tools then open without the form. Your letter details stay in your browser and are not uploaded.
