Health Fee Benefits
The Student Health Center is open to all The College at Brockport students. Those who have paid the mandatory Campus Health Center Fee are seen at no
charge. The fee can be waived if all your classes are held when the Health Center is not open, or if all your classes are held exclusively at off-campus locations. Student teachers and those taking internships are often in this category. Students who have not paid a health fee will be assessed an office visit charge.
Students are encouraged to make appointments, but can be seen during walk-in hours Monday-Friday 8 am - 11 am and Saturday 10 am - 2 pm. Appointments can be scheduled Monday - Friday 9 am - 4:15 pm. Emergencies will be evaluated as needed.
Over-the-counter remedies for minor problems with colds, pain, and wounds are available in the Health Center waiting room. This is a self-service area with no waiting or charge for Brockport students.
