Students are entitled to unlimited inpatient days without charge. The Office of Health Education is located on the 3rd floor of Health Services. Health Education staff offer community education, individual appointments, phone consults, peer education, and reading materials.

The pharmacy can fill prescriptions only if they are written by a Health Services provider or a provider on our referral list.
All medical records are confidential, subject to certain permitted disclosures.
Family members do not have access to records without the patient's consent. Information will be released only with written authorization of the patient, except under certain circumstances such as when release of specific information without the patient's consent is necessitated by an emergency, or as otherwise permitted by law. This confidentiality extends to Psychological Services' records, which are kept separate from the medical records maintained in Health Services. Health insurance is in addition to the Health Services Fee. Unless covered under a parental or private plan, a student is required to purchase the health insurance offered through the University.
