Students are responsible for ensuring that SGU can contact them at all times. Students must notify the Office of the University Registrar of any change in contact information as soon as possible. Throughout their enrollment at the University, students are required to monitor their SGU email and respond to all University communications in a timely manner (within 1–2 business days). This requirement applies during academic terms, between academic terms, while on clinical rotations, at affiliated hospitals, during vacation periods, while on a leave of absence, during clinical bridge time, and while awaiting graduation.
Failure to monitor SGU email, respond to University communications, act on information contained in those communications, or attend mandatory meetings as directed by the Dean of the School of Medicine, the Office of Student Affairs, the senior associate dean of basic sciences, the Office of the Senior Associate Dean of Clinical Studies, Academic Advising Development and Support Division, Course and Clerkship Directors, Directors of Medical Education, or any other authorized administrative office or official constitutes unprofessional behavior.
Such unprofessional behavior may adversely affect academic performance and course grades and may result in a recommendation for dismissal from the University or administrative withdrawal by the Office of the University Registrar.
