H1N1 Flu Policy

In order to prevent the spread of the H1N1 Flu Virus, please do not attend lecture or lab if you have a fever, body aches, cough, and/or sore throat- even if you don't think it's the flu. The university recommends that you remain at home or in your room and follow instructions from the University’s Health Services (http://www2.binghamton.edu/health/). Please notify your instructor of your absence as soon as reasonably possible. Every effort will be made to accommodate make-up work. Excluding scheduled exams, you will not be asked to validate your illness with a note from a medical professional. It is considered a violation of the academic honesty code if you abuse this policy for non-medical reasons. Binghamton University maintains an updated H1N1 webpage at http://www2.binghamton.edu/news/updates/index.html For recommendations on what to do if you get sick, see the CDC site at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/sick.htm
