Health & Safety Requirements

Clarkson College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all members of our campus community, as well as the patients many of our students interact with throughout their education. To protect students from certain conditions of risk they may be exposed to, it is essential to complete specific health and safety requirements according to your academic program needs. Per College policy: All Clarkson College students, at their own expense (non-refundable), may be required to complete and follow certain health and safety requirements according to individual program needs. Students will not be allowed access to classes, registration and/or attend clinical, per program specifications, when out of health and safety compliance. Failure to achieve or maintain compliance by the designated due/renewal date/s may result in a Code of Conduct violation. Students will be provided with instructions for their academic program health and safety requirements.

Health and safety requirements are subject to immediate change in order to maintain compliance with state and federal requirements.
