Health Center Policies

 

Eligibility

All registered SUBR and SULC students who are assessed a health service fee are eligible for services. The health fee is automatically paid along with tuition and fees for each registered semester. This fee entitles students to see providers in the clinic and receive all formulary medications. Dual enrollment and online students are not eligible for services. Some part time students may not be assessed a health fee and therefore are not eligible for services.
 
All eligible registered students also have Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage. The cost of the policy is included in the student health fee that is assessed to all eligible students. The policy that is in place is a policy to provide 24/7 coverage benefits for a students’ nonathletic accidental injury, death and /or dismemberment.
