Health Services

The Student Health & Wellness Center provides a variety of services to meet the healthcare needs of students in a personal, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Some Student Health & Wellness Center services are offered at no additional cost, funded by the College and the wellness fee. There are charges for other services, including visits with nurse practitioners.

The Student Health & Wellness Center will bill the College’s Health Plan for most services provided to students who did not waive that coverage and are insured through that plan. 

The center will bill charges for students who have other insurance plans to their student accounts unless they arrange to pay at the time of service.
