[Faculty] Students declaring sick for class attendance and exams

[Yusuf Ozturk]

Engineering Faculty,



I have an exam today and several students contacted me during the last hour
or so declaring sick and requesting to take the exam at a later time.
University send an email to all students to be conscientious  when they are
sick and discourage to come to work. Similarly we are asking students and
staff in our labs to work from home when they are sick.



If students contact you to ask for accommodation and an exam or homework
please follow university policies.   Please use your best judgement to
decide during these unusual times and when in doubt consult university
procedures.  The paragraph below summarizes the procedure for a student to
declare sick and request academic accommodations.



Students may provide medical documentation for temporary disability
accommodations by contacting the Student Ability Success Center
<https://newscenter.sdsu.edu/student_affairs/sds/> by emailing
sascinfo at sdsu.edu. After an expedited review of the student’s medical
documentation SASC will provide an accommodation letter for students to
share with their instructors in order to work out the best accommodations
for their courses. Students will not be penalized in any way if they
request academic accommodations.

If you have any questions and concerns please do not hesitate to contact me
or Theresa Garcia.



Best regards

Yusuf
