If you are infected with a disease subject to preventative measures at schools (designated school infectious disease)
If you have contracted, or suspect you have contracted, an infectious disease subject to preventative measures at schools (see list below), TMU will suspend your attendance under the provisions of the School Health and Safety Act and the Regulations Enforcing the School Health and Safety Act. This measure is to prevent infections within the university and to prevent the spread of infections.
Steps to be taken should you be diagnosed as having contracted, or suspected of having contracted, a designated school infectious disease
- After you have been examined at a medical facility and diagnosed as having contracted, or suspected of having contracted, a designated school infectious disease, please immediately inform the university by telephone.

If you are diagnosed as having contracted, or suspected of having contracted, a designated school infectious disease during field work, immediately inform your supervising academic staff member. - Until your physician permits you to return to university activities, avoid leaving your home except for medical examinations and concentrate on your recovery.
- If your attendance has been suspended by TMU, wait until your symptoms have abated and the period of treatment indicated by your physician has come to an end. Then have yourself re-examined at the same medical facility and have the facility complete a Certificate of Recovery from Infectious Disease (you will be charged a fee). Submit the certificate as soon as possible to the Registrar. Also, submit an Absence Form or Exam Request (Make-Up Exam) if needed at this time.
- Arrangements will be made, the extent possible, for you to make up the classes, exams, and other school work you missed during the suspension of attendance to ensure you are not disadvantaged academically.
- After recovery, please fill out an application for reimbursement if you are a WILL insurance subscriber.
