Health Fee Benefits

The Student Health Center is open to all The College at Brockport students. The Campus Health Center fee is a mandatory charge. In addition to supporting the operation of the Campus Health Center, the fee is used to promote many health and wellness programs conducted for the benefit of students. The Campus Health Center Fee is not health insurance and is mandatory for all students except those study abroad students participating in an overseas program. The Campus Health Center Fee cannot be waived.

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.
