Attendance Policy

• Cancellations
  • If an appointment is cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, this will be considered a “no-show”.
• Late check-in
  • If a student arrives more than 6 minutes late, they will be unable to check-in for their original appointment, and will be rescheduled and listed as a “no-show”
• No-shows
  • Students receive a warning for their first infraction (or no-show) each academic year, and will be charged $30 for each subsequent infraction. Infractions are counted separately for the Health Center and Counseling Center.

To cancel or reschedule an appointment, call (253) 535-7337 at your earliest convenience.

Request for Light Box

Any student interested in borrowing a light box must make an appointment with one of the Health Services providers to discuss whether their symptoms are consistent with SADD.  If appropriate, a student may borrow a box for 2 weeks, in which time most people are able to determine whether it is helping to ease the symptoms of their depression.  The light boxes we carry will not be available to purchase, but we can guide a student to resources to purchase one, and if necessary, provide financial assistance toward the purchase of a box.

Requests for records/refills

Patients must allow 48 hours for requests to be completed for the following:

• Medication refills
• Copy of medical records
• Copy of immunization records
• Completion of paperwork for another source

No Sick Notes

PLU Health Services do not write sick notes for patients or notes for missing class or work.
