Wellness Center

Health Services

The Wellness Center provides comprehensive health care under the direction of a registered nurse to ensure all students’ health concerns are met.  Services provided include confirmation of required immunization status for incoming students, treatment of immediate health care issues, referrals to medical care providers in the community when necessary, first aid, CPR classes, dietary counseling and wellness education.

We have three dentists on 24-hour emergency call and physicians on campus four days a week – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  A chiropractor is available three Tuesdays of every month and a massage therapist visits the campus every Wednesday afternoon.  Hepatitis B, Pneumonia vaccine, MMRs, tetanus immunizations, and prescription drugs are available at a minimal cost to students.  Flu shots are available in mid-October.

Student Health Insurance

Waivers open on July 1st for the following year.  Deadlines vary each term and will be posted on the University website with a link to the waiver.

All students are required to have health insurance coverage and will be enrolled in the university student health insurance plan.

Insurance premiums are charged automatically to student accounts.  Students with comparable coverage must complete the online waiver form to remove the premium charge from their account.  You and your son/daughter are urged to carefully review the options and examine personal medical insurance plans before waiving the university plan.

For more information, see the Student Health Insurance Policy.

Counseling

Counseling is available Monday through Friday from 8am – 4pm. There is also a contracted psychologist who visits the campus twice a month.  We are here to support students and help them through difficult, challenging and confusing times.  Individual, group, academic, career and crisis counseling are offered.

Chapel Service

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a multi-faith community and our policies and procedures honor the spirit of this diversity. The Fred and Fay Haas Memorial Interfaith Chapel is a peaceful  and beautiful building offered to persons of all faiths. The chapel and the grounds are dedicated to enhancing the spiritual dimension of our academic community.
