Attention
Students!
We need your help! The Health
Center is a busy place. Appointments fill up very quickly and
we often have to make students wait until the next day to be
seen. Problems arise when we have students who don't show up
for their appointments, or who show up late. This means that
we turn away patients who could have been seen and then no one
shows up, or the late arriving student throws off the whole rest
of the schedule.
Please be courteous to your fellow students by arriving on time and also by
cancelling appointments that are no longer needed.
DUE TO PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST,
WE WILL BE INSTITUTING A NEW MISSED APPOINTMENT POLICY. PLEASE CHECK
HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS NEW POLICY!
It’s
Not Too Late To Get Your Yearly Flu Vaccine!!
