If you call for a non-urgent matter, your message will be relayed to the clinic on the next business day.

Medical Excuse Letters
The SHWC does not provide medical excuse letters for students who were absent from class or missed an assignment due to a short-term illness. If a student is seen in our clinic for an illness and requests a note, the physician or nurse practitioner will determine whether a note verifying the visit is appropriate. Under no circumstance will we provide an excuse note for a student who was not seen in our clinic. See SHWC Medical Excuse Letters Policy in the Policies tab for further information.
