Student Health Services creates new note policy
Student Health Services is introducing a new process for KU students to document treatment for illness or injury.
The new policy alters the process by which students can request and receive
documentation of treatment for illness or injury. The new policy, effective
Aug. 1, 2005, will be as follows:
•
Students who are incapacitated for three or more consecutive days due
to illness or injury can request a Documentation of Illness/Injury statement
from the SHS medical professional who either treated the student or received
appropriate documentation from another medical provider.
•
Students who have illnesses or injuries of shorter duration and schedule
appointments at Student Health Services can obtain a copy of their medical
record containing information about their visit by submitting an Authorization
for Use/Disclosure form to the SHS Records and Registration Department.
The processing of this request will be completed within 10 working days.
The current policy was revised in response to concerns expressed
by faculty and staff members.
