Medical excuse letters?

Per university policy, Health and Counseling Services does not provide medical excuses for missed classes, exams, or assignments for brief illness/injury as medical conditions are confidential and occasionally unverifiable.听This policy is based on limited resources, which are better dedicated to providing patient care, the inability to make valid determinations about illnesses or injuries students may have effectively managed themselves, and a commitment to student privacy.听 We suggest students engage in dialogue with faculty members regarding their circumstances for missed classes or assignments.听

If an illness or injury is expected to last longer than three days, and the student has been seen by a provider in Health and Counseling, the provider will notify the Office for Student Success so that instructors are notified that the student may be absent from class due to a medical condition. Both the student鈥檚 instructors and the student will receive a Flyer Success Alert.

This policy is consistent with recommendations from the ,听 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.

The University will send a 鈥渘otification of absence鈥� alert through the Flyer Success System to notify instructors of students who will be absent from class and the number of days that will be missed. If you are unsure of the exact number of days, use a range (ie: "I will be out of class for 3-5 days, due to being sick with fever, sorethroat, etc.").

For those who work and/or have clinical internships, contact your supervisor/placement coordinator to discuss your status and return to work/internship date.听

Responsibility for class attendance and completion of assignments rests primarily with students, who assume responsibility by communicating directly with faculty via email or phone.
