The Health Center is a fee-for-service clinic, with office visits ranging from $20 - $40. The charge for each appointment will be based on the diagnosis and procedures.

Appointments and Hours

The Health Center prefers that students call ahead for an appointment. There are limited same day appointments for acute care visits only.

Medical Insurance

Although medical insurance is not necessary for the clinic services, the University does recommend that all students have insurance coverage. A student medical insurance policy is available to students and their dependents for an additional amount. However, dependents are not eligible for care at the Student Health Center. Student insurance information is available at the Student Health Center, (719) 255-4444.

After-hours Care

The Health Center does not offer after hours care. Students who seek services elsewhere will be expected to pay those providers for charges incurred. For EMERGENCY services anytime, students should contact the local hospital emergency departments or call 911. On campus call Public Safety at (719) 255-3111 or 9-911 from a campus phone.

Immunizations

All students are required to show proof of two measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Forms must be submitted by the semester deadline to avoid a late fee and hold on your student’s account.

Housing students must provide proof of their meningococcal vaccination or sign the Mandatory Meningococcal Disease Information form prior to, or at move-in.

The University Counseling Center (UCC) assists students with their academic success when personal matters may be interfering with or complicating their efforts. The UCC offers a variety of counseling services to currently
enrolled students. This also includes members of the student’s family and/or significant others the student may wish to include.
