FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I get a doctor’s excuse letter if l miss lecture(s) for health reasons ?

Class attendance is an administrative matter between faculty and students. We believe this policy reinforces the students' responsibility to communicate directly and proactively with faculty about conditions that interfere with their class attendance.

Faculty administration exercise discretion determining when to excuse student absences, however, in some cases we are unable to determine and advise if the student is too sick to attend class and has sought treatment at the clinic. Students are however advised against abusing this facility.

Can I make an appointment for service at the clinic?

Yes; as long as the appointment is within the normal business hours. Bring your current student ID and your medical insurance card to every appointment.

Will my parents be notified about my illness?

Clients’ medical information is private and confidential. Parents or guardians will not be notified about your visit to the clinic and treatment.   However this may change depending on the severity of the illness circumstances and if there are any medical   procedures that are not covered by the Student Health Fund.

Do my parents or guardian have access to my medical records?

Your parents do not have access to your medical records. University Health Delivery system is mandated to protect the confidentiality of your medical information. Your medical record contains your personal health history. This record is kept confidential and is not released to anyone without your consent, except in compliance with state laws and health department reporting requirements.
