    We can administer allergy immunotherapy prescribed by an outside doctor. Injections can be continued on a schedule that has been established by your allergist or treating physician. Our guidelines require several pieces of documentation in order for our staff physicians to supervise the injections:

    1. The name, address, phone and fax number of your treating physician.
    2. An antigen injection schedule - this should include an area to record the date, antigen, dilution, dosage and injection site.
    3. Antigen administration instructions - any routine or special instructions for our nursing staff should be included here.
    4. Instructions for missed doses, local or systemic reactions.
    5. A copy of the note from your last clinic visit with your physician.

    We will require these five pieces of documentation for all students who wish to receive continuous allergy immunotherapy at the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. Initial injections should be given at your own physicians’ office. The health center will not initiate immunotherapy. If a student has an allergy gap of greater than 60 days, they should visit with their private physician prior to receiving an injection at the Health Center.

    SMU has a Mandatory Health Insurance Policy which requires ALL students to maintain and document proof of current health insurance in mySMU every semester. Students must either enroll or waive the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) in mySMU, AFTER they enroll for classes each term.

    The Dr. Bob Smith Health Center will not provide medical and/or mental health excuses. This is a policy made in conjunction with the Provost’s Office. The decision to excuse an absence is strictly the role of the faculty member. Faculty members are encouraged to communicate their attendance policies to their students frequently throughout the semester and provide accommodations for students who are feeling ill and need to miss class time.

    Students may choose to fill out this Absence from Class Form to show that they were seen by a doctor, however, this form does not automatically grant an excused absence. That is still up to the faculty member.

    In the event of serious illness requiring an extended absence, students should be encouraged contact the Office of the Dean of Student Life. The Office of the Dean of Student Life will help students decide how best to deal with the interruption in their studies.
