If a student is examined by an Olin health care provider during the time he/she is ill, the provider will make the decision at that time if the student is too ill to attend classes. If an excuse is warranted, the provider will specify this in a separate letter, which the student will be given. A clinical visit summary sheet without this notation does not constitute an excuse from class.
Students must see one of our health-care providers when they are ill, not after they have missed a few classes, recovered, and have returned to class. Student Health Services staff will not issue requests for medical excuses after the fact and without examining the student. For additional information visit the MSU Ombudsperson web page.
Our laboratory functions in compliance with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) and is accredited by The Joint Commission.
Accreditation means a laboratory has been assessed by a third-party auditor and has been determined to operate according to the standards for medical laboratories. It means that the quality and competence of the laboratory’s ability is monitored. This third-party assessment gives confidence that the laboratory is competent to produce reliable results.
The laboratory holds a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. View a copy of the certification here.
