If your student is seriously ill, please have them contact all of their instructors and encourage them to see a doctor.

Each student is required to purchase the student health insurance plan if they do not already have one. There is also a form which is located below for students to fill out in case of serious illness. This form will be used to send to instructors and will also set the student up for a sick tray if they need it. Sick students are not to eat in the cafeteria. Please click below for more information:
