basis, contribute to the operation
of the UHC by paying at the time
of registration each semester a
mandatory health fee which may
be used only to support the student
health program. Thereafter,
the student pays nothing further
for most services provided within
the Health Center. The Health
Center has prepared a brochure
that gives more details regard-ing
services available and charges,
if any, for such services. The
brochure is available at the UHC
or at various locations on campus.

and dermatology are also
available.
Counselors are professionals
trained in counseling, social work,
psychology, and rehabilitation who
assist students in acquiring a wide
range of skills in life management,
career and life planning, and personal
development and growth.
