The Center also provides exit interviews to assist studens in their decision-making regarding leaves of absence from the University. Students must present a valid University identification card when requesting service, have paid their service fees and have provided the facility with a complete medical record. The Center supplements the complete health services provided by family physicians. It serves students for short-term illnesses and emergencies. While the Center can handle most minor needs, students who require long-term bed care, special diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, or individual nursing care are admitted to nearby hospitals.
Some students return home for treatment.
The Student Health Center provides the services of qualified physicians on a part-time basis each week and are on call. The Student Health Center does not cover the cost of any prescription drugs not available in the Center, nor the cost of diagnostic laboratory procedures. The Center, located in Linden Hall, serves faculty and staff on an emergency basis only. Recognizing that important learning occurs outside of the classroom, Rowan University is committed to providing a high quality of student life and many special services on campus. The SLD Office coordinates student leadership development and major university programming.
