SUBJECT: UNT STUDENT HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER

APPLICABILITY: STUDENTS

The University maintains an on-campus Student Health and Wellness Center which includes Primary Medical Care, Wellness Resource Service (Nutrition Counseling, Personal Fitness Evaluations, Women’s Education, Massage Therapy & Substance Abuse Resource Center), Laboratory, Full Service Pharmacy, Psychiatric, Radiology, and Allergy/Immunization Services. Prior to an initial visit patients are required to complete a medical questionnaire or submit results of a physical examination (except in extreme emergencies). Examinations by a Physician, Nurse Practitioner, or Nurse are by appointment.

Students who have paid the Student Medical Service fee for the current semester are eligible to use the services of the Health and Wellness Center. During Summer School, a continuing, non-enrolled student may use the SHWC and Pharmacy after paying a use fee for the needed service in the semester following enrollment. When presenting for treatment a student must show a valid UNT Student ID card.

Payment of the student medical services fee allows the students access to medical services at the Health and Wellness Center. The fee does not cover charges such as taking x-ray exams, laboratory tests, dressings, filling medication prescriptions, casts, crutches, splints, exams, minor surgery, injections, etc. If a student is referred to a specialist or is hospitalized, the student is responsible for payment of those charges.

The Health and Wellness Center Pharmacy can only fill prescriptions for students paying the medical services fee. Prescriptions from physicians not employed by the Health and Wellness Center may be filled at the Pharmacy. However, We do not fill any schedule II (narcotic) prescriptions.
