  ### On-campus medical care

A registered nurse is on staff daily to treat a variety of medical concerns. Visits are free of charge; a fee is incurred for purchase of medications or when the services of an outside laboratory are utilized. We are open Monday through Friday when classes are in session. A walk-in clinic is available to students from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.; visits from 12:30 – 3 p.m. are by appointment.

 

  

 ### On-campus mental health counseling 

Provided by licensed mental health therapists. A limited number of sessions per year are available to students at no cost. Referrals for off-campus counseling are made for long-term needs, on-going therapy, more intensive services, or specialized services. Cost of off-campus referrals are the financial responsibility of the student. Counseling sessions are by appointment only.
