Appointment Information

Student Health Services uses an appointment system. Appointments can be made by calling the Appointment Line (336.334.5340, option 2). For onset of sudden illnesses, injuries, or unexpected problems you can come in without a scheduled appointment and be assessed by a nurse. Based on your needs, a nurse will assign you to the next available provider or ask that you schedule an appointment.

Though we prefer all appointments to be scheduled, we do accept work-in patients. Work-in patients are patients who come in without a scheduled appointment. The work-in patient can expect that patients with appointments or emergencies will take priority and that they will be seen when a provider or nurse becomes available. You may purchase prescriptions and over-the-counter medications without an appointment.

Service Eligibility

Full Time Students

If you are a full time student, you have paid a student health fee. (An undergraduate student must be enrolled for a minimum of 9 hours to be considered a full-time student.) This fee covers the basic care you will receive at Student Health Services. Services such as lab work, x-rays, and prescriptions are not covered in your student health fee; however, Student Health Services offers these services to students at the lowest possible rates.

 

Part Time Students

All UNCG students may take advantage of the health care provided at Student Health Services. Students who have not paid the student health fee will be seen in the health center on a fee-for-service basis or be offered the option to pay the Student Health Fee.
