Students should immediately report all illnesses, contagious diseases, or suspicion of such that they are experiencing to their faculty or program director, along with the Health and Wellness Coordinator. Students on clinical or a practicum assignment must avoid transmitting illness to their patients, therefore, students should be evaluated by their faculty, or the Health and Wellness Coordinator before reporting to their clinical or practicum location.
A student who has been absent for a significant health problem (illness or surgery) is required to submit a licensed healthcare provider's note to the Vice President of Student Affairs, Enrollment, and Belonging, indicating any restrictions and/or if the student is able to resume classroom, lab and/or clinical activities.
After a student’s absence from the classroom, lab, practicum or clinical experience, their performance will be evaluated by the faculty according to the course outcomes. Requirements to make-up lab, practicum or clinical experiences, will be established by the faculty. Arrangements to meet the course outcomes must be met before progressing to the next semester.
