Students experiencing emergency medical situations requiring immediate attention should call 911.

For non-emergency conditions that may arise when Student Health Services is closed, please see the following resources below. In times of high demand accessing in-person care at urgent care centers or the hospital emergency department may be a challenge and may result in wait times of several hours. We recommend students consult with TimelyCare before going to an Urgent Care or hospital emergency department for non-emergency illnesses.
