Medical Excuses

Students requesting a medical excuse for missing classes must be screened by the nurse or evaluated by the clinic physician.

Request must be made per e-mail to the Health Center Director (nesscl@whitman.edu). Please include classes missed and the professor’s name.

Excuses will only be forwarded to the Dean of Students after review of the medical record.  Excuses for the common cold, fatigue, uncomplicated allergies or alcohol related illnesses will NOT be forwarded.
