Call 308-3193 for hours. After-hour care and weekend care is available at community urgent care centers and the St. Cloud Hospital Emergency Trauma Unit.
The on-campus pharmacy, located in Health Services, provides prescription services and stocks many over-the-counter products. The Pharmacy has established contracts with over 40 insurance carriers and is able to bill them directly for covered products. Pharmacy hours are 8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., Monday-Thursday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays during the academic year. Summer hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday..
Health Promotions staff provide health education and health counseling for individuals or groups of students. Specific issues addressed include stress, contraception, sexually transmitted infection prevention, alcohol/drug use and abuse and nutrition.
Every student is encouraged by Health Services and the MnSCU Board to have health/medical insurance coverage. If not covered by an individual or parental policy, the student may purchase a health plan contracted by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. Students may use the on-campus health service even if they do not have medical insurance; however, they are then individually responsible for any charges. Health Services has established contracts with Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Medica, Health Partners (urgent care only), U Care of MN, Tri-West, MA, MN Care, Preferred One and Student Insurance. Students with these insurance plans can have their charges billed directly, if they have a current insurance card with policy information.
According to Minnesota law, all new freshman and transfer students must show proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria and tetanus during their first semester at SCSU. Students who graduated from a Minnesota High School in 1997 or later are exempt from this requirement.
