Recreational activities are planned to encourage the development of healthy lifestyles outside the classroom, laboratory, or hospital. In addition, Student Activities sponsors intramural sports, aerobics classes, and special-interest clubs. Selected discount tickets are available for Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks games. Special discounts also are available for the Magic Kingdom Club, the Shamu Club, and the Improv. The Student Activities staff plans special events on campus throughout the year, including an Oktoberfest, Holiday Party, and Spring Fling.
Care is available for both medical and emotional problems of students.
A nurse practitioner is available from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with an on-call internist. The staff will arrange for hospital or specialty care for a student when indicated. The cost of services provided by the staff of Student Health Services is covered by a portion of the Student Services fee and Medical Services fee. However, payment for hospital care, specialty care, emergency care, X-rays, and laboratory services is the responsibility of the student. For this reason the student is urged to maintain health insurance coverage.
