Health Fee

The cost of the health fee is $118.50 per semester (2012-2013 rate). Students enrolled for more than 4 semester hours automatically pay this fee. For more information about this, see the Registrar's website at: Tuition and Fees.  This fee supports many services:

• Unlimited student office visits with a healthcare provider for illness or injury at no cost
• Subsidizes the costs associated with other services
• Public health initiatives on campus
• NurseLine (phone access to a registered nurse for health information and advice)
• Health education and promotion across campus and visits made to Westlawn and the CRWC for health promotion services such as the following consultations:
  • Fitness
  • Nutrition
  • Tobacco cessation
  • Stress management
  • Sexual health

Are you enrolled for 0-4 semester hours?

If a student is enrolled for less than 5 hours, they are not automatically charged the health fee. They can still receive inexpensive, quality healthcare through SHW. Visit our Forms page where you can download a form to pay the health fee. Students who do not pay the health fee are charged for each office visit, in addition to any lab tests, supplies, immunizations, etc.
