Comprehensive care–including sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing, flu shots, family planning services–are provided cost-free to current students. Certain unusual or extended services may be outside of the scope of coverage, but this can be determined over the phone or with clinic staff.

• Call first for a phone screening. For students who may be experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 calling the clinic will allow staff to complete a screen over the phone. From there, providers decide whether students should come to the office or be referred for testing.
• Health navigators are available to help students address issues with insurance, provide referrals, and connect students with resources for food or housing insecurity.
• Students must bring proof of current enrollment, such as a current student ID card.
