FAQs
Do I have to call ahead? Are walk-in appointments available?
Student Health Services is just like a doctor’s office back home. To serve all students efficiently, please schedule an appointment rather than walk in. This helps us maximize the time students spend with the provider while minimizing wait time. Students who call early in the morning will typically be seen the same day if there is an opening. Patients who walk in without an appointment will be scheduled at the next available time.
