The Student Health Service does not provide written absence excuses for students who miss a class, presentations, quizzes, exams, or other academic responsibilities. However, a student can ask a faculty member to call the Student Health Service (593-1660) and we will confirm for the faculty member, at the request of a student, the dates of student visits to the Student Health Service. SHS will not disclose the purpose of patient medical visits.
Students absent from class due to hospitalization as inpatients in O'Bleness Memorial Hospital will not be issued a notification of cause of absence. However, students may request that their instructors call the Health Center for verification of their hospitalization on certain days.
Students who receive medical care as outpatients at Hudson Health Center will not be issued a notification of cause of absence. However, students may request their instructors to call the Health Center (the attending physician, if possible) for verification that they received outpatient care on a given day. It is assumed students visiting the Health Center as outpatients will do so without missing classes whenever possible.
