Most Important Information Students Are Typically Unaware of About Health Services

1)     We exist, all matriculated students can make use of our services, and we are located on the second floor of the Campus Center.

2)     All services are confidential (from Rutgers, parents, friends, etc.).

3)     With “Health Services Plus Plan” (paid for if full time, affordable semester fee if part time), students can make use of Student Health Services and schedule appointments with all of our health providers are at no additional cost (physician, nurse practitioners, psychological and alcohol/drug/nicotine counseling).

4)     Students with limited or without primary health insurance (through family, work) can purchase a Major Medical Plan which also offers a prescription (Rx) card and coverage up to $250,000 per condition per policy year. Health insurance is also available for spouses, domestic partners, and children.

5)     We provide all the medical services you would find at an outpatient clinic, or by a general practitioner, including making appropriate referrals if needed.

6)     We are not an emergency response medical unit.  If you have a medical emergency, you should call 911 or campus police.

7)     Clinical services are provided to students by appointment.

8)     First year students need to complete immunization requirements by the end of their first semester on campus. (A hold will be placed on their grades if this is not completed)

9)     Our campus web page is invaluable in providing important information about health services, and student health in general.

10)    For students with a personal or professional interest in the health field, we train student “health advocates” to participate in campus/community health programming.
