Student Health Services
The University Health Clinic is available to all students who are currently enrolled in the university in academic course work for which semester credit hours are awarded. The clinic provides outpatient care Monday through Friday during the two long semesters when school is in session. Hours vary during summer school sessions. Clinic services include staff physicians, nurse practitioners, nursing care, pharmacy and health education. The clinic also provides many diagnostic services and treatments appropriate on an episodic outpatient basis. It is not intended to substitute for the health maintenance care provided by a primary care provider. However, it can provide invaluable service for the student who can't see his/her private physician because of time constraints or distance. Any problem which can't be treated in the clinic may be referred off-campus for further evaluation/treatment as deemed necessary by the clinic staff.
There is no charge for examination, diagnosis or consultation services provided by the clinic staff. However, there may be charges for injections or other medications not stocked in the pharmacy. Students referred by the clinic staff for health care services to an off-campus health care provider will be responsible for all related costs. However, the university will reimburse the student up to $50 per illness (if there is a remaining balance after filing on personal insurance) on referrals if the student is referred by appropriate university staff. Contact clinic staff for details on reimbursements.
Medications stocked by the clinic and prescribed by the university medical provider will be assessed a minimal fee. Over-the-counter medications will be provided at no charge. Prescriptions requiring medications that are not stocked in the clinic must be paid for by students themselves.
Students requiring medical services while the clinic is closed should contact other medical providers and are financially responsible for all charges.
All students attending the university and enrolled in six or more semester credit hours are eligible for participation in a plan of accident and sickness insurance, which supplements the University Health Clinic services in major surgical, medical and accident benefits during both the school term and vacation periods. Students who do not carry other comprehensive health insurance are strongly urged to enroll in a health care insurance plan, as the Clinic cannot provide hospitalization or comprehensive health care coverage.
