Medical Excuse Policy
Student Health and Counseling Center does not provide medical excuses for missed classes, exams, or assignments since medical conditions are confidential and frequently not verifiable. This policy is based on our limited resources, which are better dedicated to providing health care; the inability for us to make valid determinations about illnesses or injuries students may have effectively managed through self-care; and our commitment to student privacy. We suggest that students dialogue with faculty members regarding their circumstances for missed classes or assignments.
This policy is consistent with the recommendations of the American College Health Association and is similar to other colleges and universities. It is respectful of students and their responsibilities, promotes trust among students and faculty and allows students more time to devote to their studies.
