Sick Days

Classrooms, dining halls, dorms, the library. During school, you’re almost constantly surrounded by people, which means catching a bug is virtually inevitable.

If your illness makes it impossible to go to the dining areas, you need to get checked out by medical staff. When you do, Food Service will be notified and arrangements will be made for a “sick tray” to be delivered to your dormitory room.

The Health Center does not issue medical excuses for missed classes due to illness, so it’s your responsibility to inform professors about absences due to illness.

If you have a chronic condition or take medications regularly, please notify medical staff in the Health and Wellness Center so that they may help assist you with your ongoing care.
