Confidentiality

Information regarding the physical or mental status of students is strictly confidential. Information regarding a student will not be released to persons outside of SHS without the students written consent, unless legally mandated.

Appointments

Student Health Services operates on an appointment system, which decreases waiting time and allows for better planning by all parties. If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please notify Student Health so that your appointment may be given to a fellow student.

Excuses

Students are responsible for notifying professors or instructors of absences caused by illness or injury. Student Health will not provide written excuses to students for missed classes or exams. Should an instructor desire confirmation of a clinic visit to Student Health, that instructor may telephone us for verification. Due to the confidentiality of medical information, only the date and time of the exam will be provided.

Billing

All students will be billed for the balance for any lab, x-ray, or referral service charges incurred.  Please make sure that Student Health Services has your current health insurance information.
