Info

• Documentation of meningococcal vaccination. This vaccination is recommended, but NOT mandatory for admission to Tougaloo College. Medical Records Compliance Policy Tougaloo College is committed to the maintenance of an environment that allows each member of its community to sustain his/her optimum level of health and wellness. It is for this reason that all students attending Tougaloo College will have a complete medical record on file in the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic before he/she registers or pre-registers for class. This includes CISLL students and student/employees of the College who attend classes. Policy Statement • No student will be permitted to pre-register or register for classes unless he/she has a completed medical record on file in the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic. This includes CISLL students and employees of the College who attend classes. • Students with no medical records or an incomplete medical record will be entered into the computer with a security block that will prohibit the generation of a class card. • Students who register late will be referred to the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic for clearance before a class card is generated and the student is allowed to register. This includes returning students, readmitted students, and transfer students. All new students and returning students who plan to participate in a sports activity will bring a current statement and documentation of a physical examination by a licensed physician to the Health/Wellness Center’ Medical Clinic, prior to beginning any exercise program. Sports physicals cannot be substituted for the mandatory medical examination. Health Education information is a part of each Health Center visit. Private counseling and disease specific patient education is available to all students. Students who routinely take medications for a chronic illness are encouraged to visit the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic periodically to update the Health Center staff on their health status. The Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic staff will assist, when necessary, any student with a chronic illness but it does not assume the responsibility of providing daily and continuing medical care for a student with a chronic illness. If a student is on injectable medications and need assistance giving injections, the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic staff will assist the student. If a student chooses to give his/her own injections, they must obtain the proper needle (disposal reciprocal) from the clinic/physician prescribing medication. The reciprocal must be in an appropriate bio-hazard container with a lid and returned to the clinic for proper disposal. 108
The Health Center routinely stocks over the counter medications commonly used in the treatment of minor illnesses or accidents. These medications are available to students at no charge. If a student is ill in the Residence Hall, it is the student’s responsibility to come to the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic prior to missing a class for evaluation. Medical statements for class will only be issued to those students who have been evaluated by the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic staff. Students who live off-campus and miss class will be given a medical clearance. This is not a medical excuse. NO medical permit from class will be given unless there is written documentation of illness from a licensed physician.
