All students without health insurance who are enrolled for greater than 6.5 hours will be charged the $100 campus primary care health fee which provides primary care services. Students who have health insurance may use this fee as a supplement to their health insurance.
The $100.00 primary care health fee can be waived for the current semester only. Students may not waive the fee for prior terms.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE PRIMARY CARE HEALTH FEE IS NOT HEALTH INSURANCE AND DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR EXISTING HEALTH INSURANCE.
The Primary Health Fee provides:
- Unlimited routine office visits for health maintenance, physicals, blood pressure checks
