Section 3335-9-08 - Medical examination and enrollment denial for medical reasons(A) After admission, but prior to enrollment, each student seeking to enroll shall complete and submit to the university health service medical information in a form prescribed by the health service. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in denial of enrollment.(B) Students with certain physical, psychological or emotional health conditions may be subject to a hold from enrollment. Such a hold may be imposed when there is clear and convincing evidence that: (1) The student's current state of physical health poses a substantial danger to the health and well-being of other members of the university community; or(2) The student is suffering from a mental disorder and as a result of that disorder engages, or threatens to engage in behavior which: (a) Poses a substantial danger or risk of causing harm to the student or to others; or(b) Poses a substantial danger or risk to university property, or to the property of another member of the university community.(C) When the health of a student is alleged to be as defined in paragraph (B) of this rule, the director of the university health service, or designee, shall consult with the student about the student's health status. If the director decides it is necessary, the student may be required to submit to examination(s) deemed sufficient to evaluate such condition. The university health service will then review the case, including any medical evidence or opinion available, and determine appropriate university action. If the student fails to submit to an examination, or fails to furnish relevant health condition information, or if the review by the director discloses the existence of an immediate danger to the university community as set out in paragraph (B) of this rule, the student may be subject to a hold from enrollment; or conditions appropriate to protect the university community may be placed upon enrollment. In arriving at appropriate action, the director will take into account reasonable action on the part of the university to accommodate the student's condition.(D) If a student has been placed on a hold from enrollment, or otherwise experienced modification of enrollment status by reason of health conditions enumerated in paragraph (B) of this rule, the student may petition for revision of that status through the office of the vice president for student life.(1) Such request must be accompanied by supporting documentation that the conditions for revision of enrollment status have been fulfilled, and/or that the health condition has changed sufficiently to make revision appropriate. Upon receipt of such request, the vice president for student life will evaluate the evidence, or convene the case consultation committee (composed of representatives of counseling and consultation service, university health service, the student's academic unit, and other academic/administrative units as appropriate) for that purpose, and decide to:(a) Approve enrollment without condition;(b) Approve enrollment with specified conditions such as medical treatment; or
(2) The student must, in addition, meet all normal and appropriate standards for enrollment set by the academic unit in which the student seeks to enroll. Replaces: 3335-9-08
