Health Service Fees

2011-2012 Student Health Fee: $128.00 per semester

Many services offered at the Health Service are pre-paid by the student health fee including your clinician visits. The fee is included in fee payment for all students taking nine hours or more. It is NOT included in fees paid for students taking less than nine hours. However, part-time students have the option to pay the health fee making them eligible to use the Health Service. The fee must be paid BEFORE presenting for care.

No Charge Items

There is no charge for seeing a clinician (Doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant) during Regular Clinic or After-Hours Clinic.  There is no charge for MOST lab work done in the Student Health Services (SHS) Lab IF a SHS clinician deems in clinically necessary and orders it.
