Health Services and Documentation for Illness or Injury
Health Services does not provide documentation for student medical illness or injury. This policy does not serve as an excuse for missing class.
Students who miss class due to illness or injury are encouraged to directly notify their faculty, preferably before missing class. Most faculty members will accept your word that you have a legitimate reason for missing class, an exam, or an assignment deadline. However, decisions regarding the impact of your absence on your grade and any arrangements for making up missed work are at the discretion of your professor.
Since illness varies greatly among individuals, we expect students to take a reasonable and responsible approach to balancing their academic responsibilities with their health, while also considering the public health and safety of themselves and others.
Students may request a copy of this policy from Health Services.
This policy is supported by the Office of Academic Advising.
