Communicable Diseases Policy

All enrolled students with a communicable disease that may affect the health and safety of others MUST advise Student Health Services. Students may be required to provide medical records or may be evaluated in person. Decisions about risk the student poses to the health and safety of others at the school and hospital will be the responsibility of the Student Health Center Staff and their decisions will be the final determinate of the level of participation in school activities. All reasonable consideration will be given in order to determine if reasonable accommodations can be made by KUMC to allow a student to participate in a normal course of study without risk to him/herself or to others. When applicable, Student Health Services follows guidelines set forth by the KUMC Infection Control Department and/ or Employee Health.
