Return to Campus After Medical Admittance
Any student who has been admitted to a hospital must follow specific procedures to return to campus. The college will determine your appropriateness to return to the academic and/or residential environments, including planning for needed follow-up care, arranging for the completion of missed academic work, and assuring the safety and well-being of the whole campus community.
Before noon of the first business day following your return to campus, you must contact one of the following offices (as directed in your notification letter) to arrange an immediate appointment:
-
Mental health and/or substance-related concerns:
Counseling & Behavioral Health Services
Phone: (914) 251-6390
Email: COU.counseling.center@purchase.edu
-
All other medical concerns (including illness, injury, or accidents):
Student Health Services
Phone: (914) 251-6390
Email: HSE@purchase.edu
Students will receive an email notification to their SUNY Purchase email address from the Office of Student Affairs regarding which office to contact regarding your medical admittance.
Information necessary for re-entry evaluations at the college may include the admitting hospital’s lab work and treatment summary. If no additional lab work is performed at the admitting hospital, the lab work from the emergency department may be requested. This information should be faxed from the hospital to the Counseling Center at (914) 251-6399 OR Health Services at (914) 251-6388.
On the basis of the information provided during the above appointments, an administrative determination will be made about your ability to remain in school and in campus housing, and any special conditions on your continued attendance (i.e., residential status, part-time study only, etc.).
Following the completion of your reentry assessment, you will be contacted by the Office of Student Affairs via email to inform you of the administrative determination, and the appeal process (if appropriate).
For any questions regarding these procedures, contact the Office of Student Affairs at (914) 251-7988.
