Health Services FAQs

What services are available for students who get sick?

Students who get sick on campus should go to the Wellness Center. If it is after 5:00 p.m. or on the weekend, he/she should contact his/her R.A. who will assist in calling the appropriate professional on-call staff person. The Wellness Center provides medical treatment and counseling services as well as a variety of educational programs for all Spring Hill College full-time, part-time and graduate students.

Where can students have prescriptions filled?

A pharmacy and grocery store across the street from the College will be glad to fill the prescription. The campus Wellness Center does not have an outpatient pharmacy.

Are students required to have health insurance?

Yes. It is mandatory for all full-time Spring Hill College undergraduate students to have health insurance. To waive the student insurance, the student must complete a waiver form. Verification of private insurance is required on the form. All students who do not complete the insurance waiver form are automatically charged for the student health care program.

How do I get information on my sick son or daughter?

If it is an emergency, parents of a student will be called. Otherwise, the student needs to have signed a release of information form at the Wellness Center to release information about them to anyone, including parents.

How do out-of-state students get their monthly medications refilled?

Out-of-state students need to make an appointment with the clinic physician. She in turn will rewrite the prescription for them to fill at the pharmacy of their choice.

What vaccinations do students need before coming to campus?

Students are required to have proof of immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, hepatitis B and tetanus. Students who are at risk for tuberculosis must provide documentation of tuberculosis screening within the past year. High-risk groups are listed on the immunization record.
