Health Services clinical staff do not write excuse notes, either regarding class absences or to provide extensions on academic assignments.

For short-term illness/injuries, students are encouraged to address limitations directly with professors and negotiate adjustments.

If there is a significant health issue that is impacting your ability to attend class or meet academic deadlines (i.e. a hospitalization, severe illness requiring isolation, significant health concern impacting function for more than 3 consecutive days), CHS can offer medical support via your academic deans. Your academic dean can notify your professors and/or help you create a plan to catch up on academic work missed due to medical problems.
