The Health Center provides comprehensive health services and wellness programming for students on the main campus. The center is located in the Weaver Wellness Suite, 2nd floor of University Commons.
Both full time (9 sh per semester) and part time graduate students will be able to access the services of the Health Center. Full time students will be required to fill out Health information form. Failure to fill out this form will result in a registration hold until it is completed. The Health Care Evaluation form only needs to be completed once during the student’s program.
Part time students will not get a registration hold if they do not fill out the form, but if they want to access the Health Center, they will need to fill out the form before they need the services.
Please note that payment of this fee enables students to be seen at Health Services. The fee covers services not billable to insurance including processing the Graduate Health Evaluation Form and immunization requirements (the fee does not cover actual appointments, immunizations or other services rendered). Health Services is able to bill health insurance for services provided. Any applicable co-pays are to be paid at the time of the visit or paid in full if not covered by health insurance.
