If students are involved in patient care activities in the hospitals and clinics of the campus at the time a closing occurs, they are expected to complete duties in progress before being excused from the clinical area by the supervisor of the clinical facility. Under no condition should students abruptly leave clinical facilities to the compromise of patient care. When the Health Sciences Center Does Not Close In the unlikely event that the specific clinical area in which you are working closes, and the college does not, you are not excused from attending lectures or laboratories for that day. Occasionally there are holidays that clinical sites at federal and state facilities observe which are not recognized at other clinical facilities. When this occurs, students assigned to sites observing the holiday will not attend clinical rotations on that day.
Students are still responsible for attending any classes held that day.
This is a recorded message - line is frequently busy, keep trying. You are requested to keep trying until you successfully reach those who must be notified so that your notice of absence will be properly recorded. It is not sufficient to call the clinical facility only. Record of your calling must be noted in the department as well. Such absences must be made up.
