When possible, the College expects the student to secure medical services through his/her own private physician. In cases of serious accident or illness, the College will refer a student to the nearest hospital for emergency care. It is understood that the student or his/her parents will assume full responsibility for the costs of such emergency care at the hospital - including ambulance charges.
A student's self-report, medical form should be filled out at the time of admission. This report, giving the student's medical history, will be kept in the student's file to be used in case of emergency. Tetanus boosters and tuberculosis testing are available from the Public Health Service free of charge to students.
Important Student Vaccination Requirements
CLINIC
A clinic has been established in Dobson Hall for the purpose of providing first-aid services. Clinic hours are from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, Monday through Friday. Students requiring such services should report to the clinic. If unable to report to the clinic, notify the Vice President for Student Services. Emergency care, if needed, will be secured.
DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES
For specific information review services listed under point 9, on inside front cover.
ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Student medical and accident insurance is available to students of the College at a nominal fee. Many students are not covered by their parent's insurance and/or employment programs; and, therefore, it is desirable to obtain low-cost insurance. Additional information concerning the health and accident insurance may be secured from the Office of Student Services, Dyer Hall, Room 113.
