Students who do become infected with a communicable disease are subject to the guidelines listed below. The University will be flexible in its response to incidents of communicable disease, evaluating each occurrence in light of this policy and current available medical information. The University will make available to the University community information about the transmissibility of communicable disease and precautions, which can be taken to prevent the spread of various communicable diseases. An infected student can continue to study and work so long as they are able to continue to perform their regular responsibilities satisfactorily, and so long as the best available medical evidence indicates that the student continual status does not present a health or safety threat to themselves or others. A student who contracts a communicable disease has the responsibility to notify the University of the illness immediately. A student returning to school after a leave of absence for reasons related to a communicable disease must provide a statement from the student’s physician indicating their current medical status. Students should submit their statement to their program Dean and the Associate Dean of Student Services. Within reason, the University will make accommodations to the student, whenever possible, to ensure continuity in the classroom. No student may be dismissed from the University solely on the basis of a diagnosis of an infection of a contagious disease. A decision to dismiss or discharge will only be made after reasonable accommodation has been attempted, and an examination of facts demonstrate that the student can no longer perform essential requirements of the program or poses a reasonable threat to the health and safety of those around them.
