Health Records and Immunizations

It is mandatory that all students submit a Health Record, which includes acknowledgment of the Important Information about Bacterial Meningitis brochure. Students must also submit documentation of all required immunizations. Students with incomplete records by the 5th day after classes have begun each semester will be administratively withdrawn. Students seeking exemption must present a valid acknowledgment in lieu of the immunizations.

It is very important that students contact the Director of Health Services during the first week of school if the student has outstanding health concerns or if the student will be administering his/her own injectable medications. Containers for the proper disposal of needles may be picked up and brought back to Health Services for disposal when filled. Proper disposal of needles is mandatory; fines may be imposed for infractions of this rule. Under NO circumstances are needles to be disposed of on the campus grounds

Should a student need the care of other health personnel, he/she may receive help in locating and making appointments through the Director of Health Services. To avoid unnecessary delay in receiving medical attention, it is extremely important that you bring a list of local doctors approved by your insurance carrier and your insurance card.

Students will be responsible for making their appointments when they are able, providing their own transportation to and from appointments, and taking all information concerning their insurance coverage to the provider.

The university is not responsible for transporting students to the hospital. Uber/taxi service and city bus services are available.

Should a student have an accident or be hospitalized while off-campus, the University should be notified as soon as possible through the Office of Student Life at 903-233-4400.

MEDICAL INSURANCE

With the exception of Student Athletes, the University does not require proof of insurance from students. However, the University encourages all students to have basic medical protection; insurance or a cost sharing program.
