Once you have scheduled your appointment:

• Register at the Student Health Portal.

• You are required to complete all forms by the day before your appointment.
• You may also receive or send secure messages to our health center staff through the secure messaging feature.
•  It will be important to check your portal the day prior to your appointment to ensure you have completed all consents and forms required before your appointment.

Appointments will be canceled and you will need to reschedule if forms are not completed.

Please arrive on time for your appointments. Missed appointments reduce our capacity to provide services to other students. If you are unable to keep your appointment, and to avoid the $10.00 late/no show fee, please call to cancel or reschedule as far in advance as possible, preferably 24 hours.

Same day cancellations or a no- show counseling session will count against your session limit for that semester.

Repeated cancellations or missed appointments may result in the termination of services.
