Health Fee University policy requires that all students registered for seven or more credit hours during the fall or spring semester or four or more credit hours during a summer session pay the University health fee. Students pay for pharmaceuticals, orthopedic equipment, specialty clinics and psychological testing. Payment is expected at the time of service. Students may pay in cash, check, MasterCard, Visa or Tiger Stripe. The University offers an accident and sickness insurance plan to help cover major medical expenses.
Information is sent to all students prior to the fall semester.
Students are strongly encouraged to have comprehensive health insurance coverage during their tenure at the University. A registered nurse is available to answer questions, provide health information and schedule appointments. Students requiring the care of a physician after hours may choose from area emergency rooms and urgent care facilities including Clemson Health Center, Oconee Memorial Hospital, Anderson Area Medical Center, Baptist Medical Center and Greenville Memorial Medical Center. Medical costs incurred are the student's responsibility. Students should contact Redfern the next business day for follow-up care.
