How does my student make an urgent or same day appointment?
- Many appointments can now be made on our website. Students can logon to My Online Student Health and clicking on the top right-hand side of the home page, then using their accessnet username and password (these are the same credentials you use to log into their Temple Email account).
- Students can call Student Health Services to schedule an appointment. Clearly state the urgent nature of your problem. A limited number of Urgent Same Day appointments will be given out over the phone. The best time to call is between 8:30 to 9:30 am.
