Part-time students $102 per semester
Full-time students $153 per semester
We believe that for students to enjoy and succeed during their academic career, early treatment to healthcare is vitally important. Disease prevention is more likely to occur when barriers like high costs are removed and a preventive approach to healthcare is adopted. All enrolled students are provided affordable, convenient access to primary health care through Student Health Services.
Most health services have been paid for through built-in health center fee through tuition. During the 2008-09 academic year, the student health fee for full-time undergraduate (12+ hours) and graduate (9+ hours) is. $153. The student health fee for part-time undergraduate (6-11 hour) and graduate (6-8 hour) students is $102. Services are offered on a fee-for-service basis for students taking less than six hours.
The student health fee pays for:
1. Medical provider visits at the Thomson Student Health Center’s General Medicine Center and Women’s Care;
2. Access to wellness care and education, including nutrition consults, stress management services, smoking cessation classes;
3. Twelve (12) individual visits with trained psychologists, family/marriage therapists, and social workers at the Counseling & Human Development Center;
4. Urgent care response to campus medical emergencies through our EMT First Responders program; and
5. Outreach campaigns.
NOTE: The student health fee also assists in the sustainability of the health center by funding medical technology, select medical supplies, utilities, and salaries of physicians and support staff. It also funds the modernization and integration of student electronic health records.
The student health fee does not pay for:
1. Health insurance;
2. Over-the-counter medications, prescriptions, and other products at the pharmacy;
3. Lab testing, x-rays, or medical supplies;
4. Additional individual counseling sessions (over the initial 12); and
5. Massage therapy sessions. |
