Student Health Services
The Wellness Center offers limited primary care services by appointment with the University's physician or nurse practitioners. A minimal fee will be charged to the student's account for services and supplies; private health insurance is not accepted for payment. Health Services has numerous informational brochures and resources addressing health issues and will offer assistance with community referrals. Health awareness and health promotion events are held frequently throughout the year. Activities include health education, screenings, and guest speakers. These events are sponsored by the Wellness Center and Responsible Education Awareness Leaders (R.E.A.L.), our peer education group. The R.E.A.L. team also partners with various Stevenson University clubs, organizations, and departments.
Student Health Requirements
All full-time commuter and resident students are required to have the Stevenson University Student Health Profile completed by July 1 for fall entrance and January 20 for spring entrance. All full-time students are required to complete this profile online even if they are turning in other health related records to other departments. Please refer to those specific departments for any health requirement questions, i.e. Athletics, Beverly K. Fine School of the Sciences, and GPS. If a student was previously a part-time student and is now taking 12 or more credits, a Student Health Profile must be completed. Students do not need to resubmit the Student Health Profile every year. Students who have been away from Stevenson University for at least 2 years and are reapplying for admission as a full-time student must complete another Student Health Profile.
In addition, all students living in Stevenson University residential housing are required to be immunized against meningococcal disease (MCV4/Menveo/Menactra). Some students may require a booster dose of the meningitis vaccine prior to moving into the Residence Halls. At this time, the meningitis B (Trumenba/Bexero) vaccination is NOT required for Stevenson students. Commuter students who decide to become a resident are required to comply with additional immunization requirements as stated on the Student Health Profile.
Failure to submit a completed Student Health Profile will block a student from registering for future classes and/or lead to removal from housing.
