A student on rotation is any student whose primary activities are conducted at an off-campus site.
A missing student is any student who:
- Is reported to have an unexplained absence from a rotation or other clinically based activity. Preceptors are required to notify the appropriate clinical coordinator immediately if a student is absent and has not contacted the preceptor with a reason for the absence.
Procedure:
- The clinical coordinator should contact the Office of Student Services.
- When the Office of Student Services receives a notice that a student is missing, the following procedure will be followed:
- The student's registered telephone number will be obtained from the CARS system and the student will be called. The student will also be sent a text message and email via University student email and (if available) the student's personal email. If there is no response, the Office of Student Services will continue to call the student at regular intervals throughout the day.
- If the student has not returned the call within a reasonable period, the individual listed on the Emergency Contact form will be contacted. The student’s College Administration will also be contacted and if necessary, the police will be contacted for a Welfare Check.
