Mandatory reporting is not required. However, if you would like to request any type of supportive services, accommodation, alternate arrangement for course assignments, temporary housing assignment, schedule changes, or absences (including UMHB employment), etc., you must submit such requests directly to Dr. Brandon Skaggs or 214-704-1168 or Michael Burns or 405-308-7336 in Student Life. Do not ask the faculty member, coaches, or UMHB work supervisor directly for such supportive services.
Students who are in quarantine or isolation due to COVID-19 exposure or illness will follow the university’s attendance policies, which are published in the university catalogs (found at https://www.umhb.edu/resources/registrar/catalog#1845). Course syllabi and program handbooks may provide additional class-specific attendance policies.
Students must inform their instructors as soon as possible of such absences. It shall be up to the discretion of the faculty member to determine whether the circumstances that caused the absence warrant granting an excused absence. Should an excused absence be granted, faculty will provide reasonable opportunity for the student to make up work that is missed. If it is not feasible for the student to make up work, some allowance may be made in order that the student will not be overly penalized. In some programs with attendance expectations set by external agencies, students will have to either meet minimum attendance requirements or retake the course. Students should not submit medical documentation to faculty.
