The Health Fee
enables the Student Health
Service (SHS) to provide routine health care,
education, and health promotion
programs. The Health Fee is mandatory for all students. The fee
will appear as a line item on the tuition invoice.
The Health Fee does
not eliminate the need for health/hospitalization
insurance.
Currently, the
Health Fee is $104. per semester for full time students and $8.65
per credit hour for part-time students. Interns who waiver the
Health Fee and utilize Health Services have the option of paying
