The student health center is open Monday – Friday from 8 am – 4 pm. We do not close for lunch. We are closed for major holidays and campus holidays.

Your medical information is confidential. If you are over 18 years of age then your medical information will not be shared with anyone, including your parents, professors, and other medical providers, unless you provide your consent.

Illness and injury may occasionally impact your ability to attend class or complete assignments. We urge students to notify their professors immediately when an injury or illness prevents them from attending class or completing course work.

The student health center does not provide written medical excuses for class absences. Students may request documentation to verify the date and time they were seen for an appointment at the health center, but no further information will be provided. Students are responsible for making up all missed work. This approach allow for students, as young adults, to advocate for themselves and to take responsibility for their health and academics. This also encourages instructors to communicate directly with students if concerns arise.
