Class Excuse Policy
Kent
State University Health Services recognizes
how important it is for students to attend
classes; therefore, it is our policy to provide
a medical excuse only for those students who,
in our medical opinion, need to stay at home
and rest. Students who are very ill or highly
contagious may be given a written note explaining
when and how long we recommend they should
be excused from classes. These students will
still be responsible for contacting their
professors and making up any missed assignments/tests.
The physician or nurse practitioner treating
the student will be the only individual to
decide if an excuse note is to be given based
on the student’s diagnosis. We will not write
excuses for a past illness or for an illness/condition
that we did not treat. The walk-out statement
(receipt) that students receive after reconciling
their bill at the cashier’s office is not
meant to be used as a class excuse. It is
simply verification that the student was at
the health center.
