Does Student Health provide excuse notes?

No. Student Health Services does not provide medical excuse (doctor’s) notes for missed classes or missed work.

If needed, you can ask your healthcare provider for a Visit Verification Statement at the end of your appointment at Student Health Services which indicates the time and date of the appointment.

Student Health Services does not advise students about absence unless a contagious illness or a severe or longer-term medical condition justifies that recommendation.

The student and their professor (or supervisor) should communicate at the earliest opportunity to determine decisions about the impact of an absence, missed class/work, or deadlines.
