SHCS - Policies

 

Late Policy

Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late for their scheduled appointments will be rescheduled for a future date and time. Late students will not be permitted to reschedule for the same day.  Students being late causes other scheduled appointments to be delayed, and this is not fair to our other patients. Student Health and Conseling Services advises that students arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment to ensure they have plenty of time to find parking, check in for their appointment and complete any necessary paperwork.

 

Excuse Policy

Student Health and Conseling Services encourages the development of responsible health care habits by holding students accountable for their decisions regarding class attendance.  Therefore, we will not issue notes, excuses or medical documentation of illness for routine clinic or counseling visits. However, in cases of severe illnesses or illness requiring an extended recovery period (for example: influenza or mono), we will provide a written statement. It remains the responsibility of the student to communicate directly with faculty.  All decisions about the impact of the absence on the student’s grade, as well as any arrangements for making up work are at the discretion of the instructor.
