The mission of Health Services is to maintain, improve and promote optimal wellness of the students so that they may achieve their academic and personal goals.
Medical records are strictly confidential.
No medical information is released without the student's written consent except as required by law. Records will not be faxed, except for unusual circumstances, due to the potential for breaches in confidentiality. Students are responsible for notifying professors or physical education instructors of absences caused by illness or injury. Medical excuses are not routinely issued by the Health Service for missed classes or examinations. Exceptions may be for extended illnesses or injuries that necessitate hospitalization or medical withdrawal.
