Students are eligible for Student Health Services during the two academic terms, and the January and Summer terms, as long as they are registered for classes and have paid required fees.

Please see the website for current hours. Students should call ahead for appointments and identify themselves as a current UWRF student. Depending on the provider and the reason for the appointment, telehealth or an in-person visit may be scheduled.  Telehealth appointments are covered by Student Health Services just as in-person appointments have been in the past. On Saturday and Sunday, no appointment is necessary and students can see a provider on a walk-in basis.
