Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2023–2024 75 should contact the OSA and the NSU Student Disability Services office to discuss the existence and nature of the disability and whether reasonable accommodations are available. For more information, see the policy on Students with Disabilities contained in this handbook. If a student’s exposure results in the contraction of a disease or disability, the student will be allowed to continue in the education program with as little disruption and as safely possible depending on the circumstances. The student’s specific medical circumstances will be confidentially evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and appropriate recommendations regarding the student’s progress through medical school may be submitted to the SPAC for appropriate action, if necessary. Workers’ Compensation Generally, because students are not employees of the NSU MD or its clinical affiliate sites, they are not eligible for workers’ compensation coverage. Therefore, any coverage for illness or injuries incurred as a medical student will be the responsibility of the student via the student’s private health insurance plan. Students who are employees of NSU may be eligible for workers’ compensation coverage. Information Technology (IT) Policies All NSU MD students who are granted access to NSU-issued computing and technology resources (desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, printers, etc.), application systems, or access to the NSU network must adhere to the policies and procedures listed on the NSU Office of Innovation and Information Technology available at nova.edu/portal/oiit/policies. There, you will find the mandatory standards and policies enforced by NSU and the NSU MD IT Office to protect information systems and assets from internal and external threats. The privilege of using the computing and technology resources provided by NSU is not transferable or extendible by students to people or groups outside of the school and terminates when a student is no longer enrolled in NSU MD. These policies are provided to make all users aware of the responsibilities associated with efficient, ethical, and lawful use of technology resources. If a student acts unprofessionally and ignores any of the terms and conditions in the policies, privileges may be terminated, access to NSU technology resources may be denied, and appropriate academic (through the SPAC) or disciplinary (through the NSU Office of Student Affairs) action may be applicable. Accordingly, this policy establishes the expectations for students regarding the utilization of technology devices provided by NSU for educational purposes. NSU-Issued iPads and Laptop Computers All students must take personal responsibility for the security of the equipment, software, and data in their care. iPads and laptop computers provided to students are the property of NSU and, as such, will be subject to inspection or log monitoring at any time. NSU MD IT may also choose to remotely disable a student’s iPad if the device or data has been compromised, is lost or stolen, or if a student is in noncompliance with established policy and/or directives. All iPads and laptops are loaned for academic purposes, and students should understand there is no reasonable expectation of privacy concerning data or software on these devices.
