COVID 19 Reporting Form

Arkansas Department of Health MonkeyPox Information

UAM Student Health Service does not provide medical excuses for short-term absences which result in missed classes, exams, assignments, work or practices due to illness or injury.

Students are advised to contact the appropriate professor, instructor, coach or supervisor in the event they need to miss classes, exams, assignments, work or practices due to an illness, injury or an emergency. While absence should be a rare occurrence, Student Health Service encourages students to make mature decisions when they are too ill to attend class or activities. All decisions concerning the impact of an absence, as well as any arrangements for making up work, rest with the professors, instructors, coaches or supervisors.

On the rare occasion where the illness or injury is prolonged, requires hospitalization or the student is instructed not to attend classes, work or practices due to the severity or communicability of the illness, students may request an official excuse by submitting documentation supporting a required absence from class, practice, or other University activities.

Acceptable documentation will be an official letter from the treating Medical Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy, Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Psychologist, or Licensed Professional Counselor, on letterhead stating:
1) The nature of the medical condition in sufficient detail to justify excused absence.
2) Date of onset of inability to attend.
3) Anticipated date of ability to return.

Students should understand that submission of this documentation does not guarantee that an excused absence will be granted.

General Medical Documentation Submission 

Meningococcal Meningitis is a rare but potentially dangerous illness.  Although the risk of contracting this disease is low for the general population, there is a greater potential risk of outbreaks for college-aged students due to a prevalence of risk factors that are often part of campus life.  These risk factors include residence hall living, active and passive smoking, bar patronage, and alcohol consumption.  As a preventative measure, Student Health Services recommends students check with their health care providers for further information about available vaccines or contact us at (870) 460-1051.
