I’m sick, now what?
- Check this website: https://healthylearn.com/students/DoaneU/
This has good information regarding self-care for illness.
- Make an appointment:
Self schedule here: (“Make an appointment” link to portal)
Or Email: [email protected]
Or call Student Health Services at 402-826-8265.
Arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment and know your current
medications and allergies.
Communicate with your professors if you are sick enough to miss class.
How do I know if I’m sick enough to miss class?
- I am running a fever greater than 100.4 degrees
- I have a sore throat with swollen lymph nodes
- I am coughing WITH shortness of breath
- I am having vomiting and/or diarrhea
- I am having abdominal pain
- I am having chest pain
- I have been hit by a car
You need to come to the student health center on the day of the absence from class (if feasible). Missing class and coming to the health center does not necessarily mean the health center staff will “excuse” you from class. A “verification of absence” will be given.
