Student Isolation/Quarantine From Respiratory Viruses and Medical Notice of Verification

Students who are sick should:

• refer to attendance and absence policies in course syllabi,
• notify their faculty regarding thier absence as soon as possible
• discuss with their faculty the academic impact of thier absences, particularly regarding missed academic commitments, work, assignments, tests, and any possible arrangements or accommodations to make up work or assignments. 

Medical Providers at the SBL- EIU Student Medical Clinic will send a medical notice of verification to faculty for students who are seen and treated at at the SBL-EIU Student Medical Clinic whose medical ailments are significant enough they believe disrupt academic participation/attendance, or pose a public health threat to others.  This notice is not an automatic class excuse.  Only the student's faculty member can excuse the student from academic responsibilities and expectations, as well as determine if alternative arrangements or accommodations related to the illness can or will be granted.
