Short-Term Emergency Notification

When students are absent for three or more days due to a crisis situation or unexpected, serious illness and are unable to contact their individual instructors directly, the student may elect to have the Office of Student Health and Well-being send out an Emergency Notification on their behalf. The Emergency Notification consists of an email from the Office of Student Health and Well-being to a student’s instructors and University officials. A copy of this message is sent to the student as well. A student may request this by sending an email to: hwbnotif@marymount.edu.

This notice does not excuse students from classwork; it only makes the student’s instructors aware of the situation. The student is expected to make arrangements for missed assignments directly with the instructor and follow the course attendance policy.

If a student’s condition is serious enough to prevent completion of the semester, the student should follow the process for requesting a medical leave. The student’s Associate Dean is available to consult with students as they weigh their options.
