The Office of Student Health Services
The University maintains a basic health care service for the treatment of minor illnesses, accidents, and injuries. Health supervision and medical care are provided through a staff of a part-time physician and nurse.
Pre-entrance physical examinations are required of all students as part of the admissions process. Additionally, all students are required to participate in a University-sponsored accident insurance plan and a sickness insurance plan. Participation in the sickness insurance policy can be waived if the student claims coverage under a similar policy.
Neither dental examinations and treatments nor examination of the eyes for glasses is provided by the University. Students requiring these services are referred to the appropriate specialists, and the student is responsible for all expenses associated with such visits.
