Services

Your Student Health fee affords you 4 visits with our provider each semester. If you require more than 4 provider visits, there may be an additional fee per visit. Our nurse visits are unlimited at no cost. Students can make an appointment by calling, emailing or visiting the SHC.

If you present to the SHC without an appointment we will assist you with scheduling an appointment, as soon as one is available. We can also assist with referrals for specialty or hospital care, as needed.

A few prescription medications are available at the SHC that may be prescribed by our providers at a reduced price. Our providers may also write prescriptions that can be filled at a local pharmacy. The SHC cannot fill prescriptions written off-campus by other providers. There are NO narcotics or ADHD medications stored in the SHC.

Some vaccines and tuberculosis testing are available on a limited basis. Immunizations are required before admission to the university. Please contact us for additional vaccine information and guidance.
