Can I keep my student funding while I'm infected?

If a doctor suspends you from studying for a certain period, you may be allowed to keep your student funding during that period. This applies if you

• are studying with student funding from CSN
• are or may be infected with a disease considered a public health hazard (e.g. Covid-19)
• have a medical certificate showing that your doctor has suspended you from studying
• cannot study at all, not even remotely.

You may also be entitled to reimbursement for travel that is required, in connection with medical examinations for example.
