KPCOM - Student Handbook 2024-2025

Health Professions Division 2024–2025 93 If the exposed student is within the local geographic work areas of the NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus or NSU Health clinics at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus and during normal business hours, the exposure should be immediately communicated to the EHS liaison within that college/NSU Health clinic/business unit, and the exposed student must immediately go to the NSU Student Medical Center, identify themselves as having been exposed to a bloodborne pathogen, and undergo a postexposure evaluation and follow-up procedure. In the case of a NSU health professions student, visiting student, or resident, their health insurance will be billed. If the exposure occurs after normal business hours or outside of the NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, the exposed person should proceed on their own to the nearest emergency department for an immediate and timely evaluation. NSU students have exclusive responsibility for their own medical bills. All applicable processes and procedures can be found in NSU’s Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control plan and NSU’s Post-Exposure Policy and Procedure for Management of Blood and Body Fluid Exposure, at nova.edu/ehs/NSU-EHS-Bloodborne-Pathogens-2020.pdf and nova.edu/ehs/final-draftpost-exposure-policy-for-management-of-blood-and-body-fluid-exposure-1.4.24.pdf, respectively. Return of University Property Any HPD or university property issued to you must be returned at the time of your dismissal or graduation, or whenever it is requested by administration, the department in control of the item, or the program. You are responsible to pay for any lost or damaged items. The value of any property issued and not returned may be charged to your financial account, and you may be required to deal with the bursar’s office for this purpose. Also, diplomas, certificates, and final transcripts will be withheld for any outstanding financial obligation. Security Checks The university, the HPD, the NSU Public Safety Department/Davie Police, or community police departments may exercise the right to inspect all packages and parcels entering and leaving our premises to ensure the safety and physical integrity of the building and the premises. Please cooperate with security in providing this service and important function. Social Events and Extracurricular Activities All extracurricular activities by division-recognized organizations, on campus and off campus, must be approved in advance by that specific college’s Office of Student Affairs. A student or group of students may not officially represent the division or the university, on or off campus, at any time without prior authorization in written form. All events sponsored by student body groups must receive prior approval from the specific college’s Office of Student Affairs/Office of Student Activities designee and faculty advisers affiliated with the group. Requests for permission for speakers, student meetings, and other activities on campus should be made on the student activities request form at least two weeks in advance. The specific college’s Office of Student Affairs/Office of Student Activities must approve activities before the manager of events and academic support systems can assign a room, and no meeting announcements may be made until approval is received. At that time, a specific room will be assigned for the function. No announcements can be posted unless authorization is given.
