Your family doctor should continue to be your primary source for medical care. First aid only is available for visitors to campus and for workman's compensation injuries. A Dispensary is available for the convenience of students only. Most frequently used prescription drugs written by the Student Health Services staff physician and nurse practitioner, as well as a variety of over the counter medications, may be purchased at a nominal charge. Payment may be made by check, cash, credit card or Tiger Funds.
Medical services are available only to students, faculty and staff members.
The student health fee is automatically assessed each semester to the student's tuition and only students attending the current semester are eligible for services. During the inter semester breaks, only those students who have paid their tuition for the upcoming semester will be eligible for services. All faculty and staff seen will be charged a fee for services rendered. Routine diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries, X-rays, most laboratory analyses, and specialized clinics are FREE of charge for students. When more in-depth evaluation or treatment is needed the patient is referred off campus, and the patient is responsible for all charges incurred for these services.
