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 the health fee or a per visit charge of $44.
