contribute to the operation of the
center by paying at the time of
registration each semester a manda-tory
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.

charges, if any, for such services. The
brochure is available at the center or
at various locations on campus.
