If the above services are needed or requested, referrals will be made to several local hospitals, pharmacies and physicians. The student must assume financial responsibility for these services, as the Student Health Fee only covers services which are performed at the campus student health clinics. To help offset these costs, the University strongly recommends purchase of health insurance. Brochures describing special student health insurance plans are available at the Student Health Services offices on both campuses or click Health Insurance.
