Students are to report absences occasioned by illness to the School of Pharmacy Student Services Office so that instructors can be notified. Absences for official School or University activities will be handled through the dean's office. In either event, any notice sent to instructors is for purposes of information only and does not relieve students of any responsibilities for completing work missed in their absence. Unless otherwise specified on the pharmacy course syllabus, students may be excused from a scheduled examination if they notify the School of their absence in advance of the examination and present a statement from their private physician confirming their illness on their return. The manner in which a justified absence from an examination will be made up will be determined by the course instructor.
Instructors do reserve the right to hold examinations outside of regularly scheduled class times.
Such examinations will be noted in the University schedule of classes. Students will not be given an opportunity to make up an unexcused absence from an examination, and their scores shall be recorded as zero for a numerically scored exam and F for a letter-graded examination. Immunizations Adequate protection for students and patients against certain diseases requires standard immunizations. Submission of immunization certificates are a condition of acceptance and must be on file in the Office of Experiential Programs prior to the beginning of the first clinical practice rotation. Additional tests may be required.
