The Wellness Center
The Wellness Center includes both Student Health Services and Counseling Services. These services are located at the Owings Mills campus on the first level of the Caves Sports and Wellness Center. The Wellness Center staff can be reached at 443-352-4200, by fax 443-352-4201, or at wellness@stevenson.edu. The Wellness Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Also, Fonemed, our 24/7 nurse line for both mental health and physical health concerns, can be reached at 1-800-245-4691. The Wellness Center is committed to providing a welcoming environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are valued.
Student Health Services
The Wellness Center offers limited primary care services by appointment with one of our health providers. A minimal fee will be charged to the student’s account for services and supplies. Insurance can be used for medications and outside testing, i.e., labs or x-rays. Vaccine clinics and outreach programs are offered throughout the year.
Student Health Requirements
All new commuter and resident students taking classes on campus are required to have the Stevenson University Student Health Requirements completed by June 1 for fall entrance and January 15 for spring entrance. All new students taking classes on campus are required to complete these requirements 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. Nursing students do not need to resubmit the Student Health Requirements every year. Students who have been away from Stevenson University for at least two years and are reapplying for admission as a student taking classes on-campus must complete another Student Health Form. Failure to submit a completed Student Health Form will block a student from registering for future classes and/or lead to removal from housing.
In addition, all students living in Stevenson University 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 if they did not receive a booster after the age of 16. At this time, the meningitis B (Trumenba/Bexero) vaccination is NOT required for Stevenson students. All new students taking classes on campus are required to have records showing proof of MMR and Varicella. The COVID vaccine is no longer required, but it is highly recommended.
Counseling Services
Counseling services are free and confidential for all Stevenson University students and include short-term counseling and crisis intervention. Counseling staff can help students address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Off-campus referrals can be provided if a student's needs are beyond the Wellness Center's scope of service. If deemed appropriate, the counseling staff can also refer students for limited onsite psychiatric care through the Wellness Center's Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Psychiatric services come with a small fee charged to the student's account.
The University Pandemic Plan
The University has a comprehensive Pandemic Plan in place. It is included as an appendix in the Crisis Management Plan, which can be found on the President's Office portal page under the "Forms and Documents" tab.
