Health and Wellness

If you are not feeling well for any reason while you’re on campus, let your resident advisor, teaching assistant, or faculty member know as soon as possible so we can support you and help you decide your next steps. 

If you need to miss class due to illness, email saic-youth@saic.edu and your instructor to make sure you have access to missed information or assignments and discuss ways to meet course requirements. The ECPSI team will help you make an appointment at SAIC’s Wellness Center if needed. 

If you have a respiratory virus, the CDC advises that you can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

Your symptoms are getting better overall, and

You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)

SAIC policy mirrors that of current CDC guidelines and is therefore subject to change.

Finally, SAIC mental health counselors are available on-site for consultations. If needed, they can support students in developing an action plan in collaboration with caregivers and ECPSI staff.
