Services
Student Health Services supports the basic health needs of students. Our health professionals assess, evaluate, and treat students for minor illness and injury as well as general health maintenance. Students may be directed to a nearby doctor, hospital, or private practitioner if it is determined that further examination is necessary after evaluation.
Students do not need insurance to visit Student Health Services. The Student Health Fee covers a variety of services. Payments for services that are not covered in your student fee should be paid through the Business Office.
Services We Provide
We encourage students to use the services at the health centers to educate and maintain a healthy lifestyle that promotes a longer, happier life and is conducive to productive learning habits and success while in college.
Students on campuses that do not have a health center (Blue Ridge, Cumming, and Oconee) now have access to Student Health Services for minor sick visits through our new telehealth service.
Students can expect to find the following services at the Health Center on the Gainesvilles or Dahlonega Campus.
