On the Day of Your Appointment

Patients are expected to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled appointment time. Patients arriving late for an appointment may be rescheduled. We recognize that conflicts may arise at the last minute and we will do our best to reschedule you for a more convenient time.

Please bring:

  • Student ID
  • Insurance card
  • List of current medications and allergies
  • Health questions
  • Student Health Services will charge either your Student Account or 鈥橤ate Card for in-house medications and testing.

Student Health Services is accessible via the 冈本视频 Shuttle Townhouse route, a 15 minute ride from Frank Dining Hall.

Charges for Health Services

There is no charge for visits to the health center.

However, students (or their health insurers) are responsible for bills relating to emergency room visits, laboratory and X-ray tests, visits to specialists, and certain medications.

Medications

Many medications are dispensed to students, either at minimal or no charge. Other prescriptions may be filled, at the student's expense, at the local pharmacy. We cannot re-write prescriptions from home without extensive information from your physician. We, therefore, suggest that you plan to bring enough medication to last the semester or have your physician arrange for ongoing medications with an area pharmacy. Crutches and other medical supplies are also available on loan from our office.

Immunizations and Allergy Serums

Allergy serums may be stored in the health center. Serums and immunizations are administered by a staff nurse twice a week by appointment.

Medical care at Student Health Services is strictly confidential.

  • If it is authorized or required by law.

Similarly, Student Health Services does not routinely share information about your care with parents, faculty, or deans without your permission. Health information will be discussed with parents and faculty only at your request and with your written permission.
