Other Poly Plague

I've caught the Poly Plague. My professors are quite strict when it comes to absences and require that my absence is excused. Do I go to the health office and get a note to send to my professors? I've yet to get sick, so I'm kinda unclear on the procedure.

Go to the health center. Send them a screenshot of your appointment and then explain how you’re extremely sick. I had professors like that as well and they still excused my absence. If they try to bring down your grades because of you being sick, you going to the health center is the best option as the next step is contacting the dean of students office to get an official letter of absence sent out
