Student Health Services

Primary Care & Preventive Medicine

Student Health Services (SHS) provides appointment-based medical care, including evaluation, treatment, and education for a wide variety of health concerns. Services are available for routine and acute illnesses or injuries, as well as preventive care such as physical exams, immunizations, screenings, and travel consultations.

Primary Care

Appointments are available for:

  • Routine and acute medical illnesses and injuries
  • Preventive and wellness visits
  • Routine physical exams

Preventive Medicine

Immunizations

SHS offers most routine and recommended vaccines, including:

  • Gardasil 9 (HPV)
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Twinrix (Hepatitis A & B)
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
  • Menactra (Meningitis)
  • Td (Tetanus, Diphtheria)
  • Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
  • Varicella (Chickenpox)

Other vaccines may be available by request, and influenza clinics are held each fall. Vaccines are billed to your student account, with a $20 appointment fee applied to immunization visits in addition to the vaccine cost.

Blood Titers

If you have had vaccines or certain diseases in the past, SHS accepts blood titers as proof of immunity. Costs are billed to your student account.

Available Titers:

  • Hepatitis B Surface Antibody
  • Measles IGG
  • Mumps IGG
  • Rubella IGG
  • Varicella IGG

Tuberculosis (TB) Screening

Tuberculosis (TB) screening is required for international students within 10 days of arriving on campus and is also available at minimal cost for other students who need TB documentation for jobs or academic programs.

Tests offered:

  • TB skin test (administration and read)
  • QuantiFERON-TB Gold blood test

Allergy Injections & Injectable Treatments

Students must provide serum, dosage schedule, and documentation from their allergist confirming they have previously received the serum. SHS can also accommodate other injectable medications (e.g., therapeutic or hormonal treatments) with an order from a primary care or specialty physician.

International Travel Consultations

SHS can provide travel consultations and recommended vaccines for students traveling abroad. 

  • Schedule your travel consult at least 6 weeks before departure so vaccines and medications have time to take effect.
  • Review destination-specific guidance at CDC Travel Health.
  • Bring your itinerary (countries, dates, rural vs. urban areas, activities, accommodations), and your health information (vaccination history, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical conditions).
