A. No. This is a general Physical Education policy for all students as class lists are set at the beginning of the term with no late or one-time admits permitted.

Q. As a student with a chronic illness, may I "bank" a make-up in the event of a possible/future flare-up of my condition?

A. In consultation with their instructors and on a case-by-case basis, students with disabilities may "bank" a class by participating in any of the make-up opportunities listed on the Physical Education website (e.g. volunteer at one of the two blood drives each semester.)

Q. Do you have any suggestions for particular classes that are disability-friendly?

A. Students with disabilities have found that certain courses are beneficial to their particular needs.

For example, the Wellness class addresses issues pertaining to mind/body/spirit and includes only three classes with mild-moderate levels of physical activity.

You should meet with Sharon Everson, Chair of the Physical Education Department or Susan Quinby, Director of Disability Services to discuss your specific situation.

Q. If I have a chronic illness and am experiencing a flare-up during class, what should I do?

A. This question falls under the overall attendance/lateness policy. If a student needs to sit out for a brief period (i.e. 5 min), she should speak to the professor and will likely be provided a time-out. However, if the period extends to 10-15 minutes or longer, the student will be referred to the Student Health Service for an immediate check-in. Once again, please be pro-active and discuss your needs in advance with your instructor if you anticipate a large number of flare-ups.
