The Health Center provides registered students with free and confidential services for medical evaluations.  There is a small fee for  laboratory tests, minor procedures and medications. We assist students with off-campus referrals as necessary.

Health insurance is available through Health Services for all students. The plan is mandatory for International Students only; however, we encourage all students to be insured through a private plan or through the college plan. Students do not need to purchase insurance to visit SMSU Health Services.

Excuses due to illnesses; Students are advised to report pertinent medical facts to the Health Center so that instructors can be notified in cases of prolonged illness. We do not contact instructors for short-term illnesses; it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructors for assignments. Should a student find it necessary to withdraw from classes for medical reasons and they are unable to withdraw in person, they should call the Advising Center (537-6245) for further details and implementation of the withdrawal.
