Services:
The Health & Wellness Center's (HWC) registered nurses provide FREE and CONFIDENTIAL health care to NJCU's registered students, staff, and faculty. Among the services offered are: first aid and emergency care; short term medical treatment; pregnancy testing; blood pressure screening; weight monitoring; and referrals to off- campus clinics, specialists, testing facilities, and pharmacies. The University Physician, whose services are only available to students, is available part-time during the Fall and Spring semesters. A monthly schedule of Doctor's Hours is available at the HWC and in various locations across campus. Bills for outside lab tests, x-rays, and prescriptions are the sole responsibility of the patient.
In addition to providing health care, the HWC oversees University health requirements for all entering students. Each NJCU student MUST submit an Entrance Health Form. This information is used to establish a student's medical file, making the HWC staff aware of any special medical conditions. In addition, all students are required, by New Jersey state law, to submit proof of immunization against Measles, Mumps and Rubella (German Measles). For an Immunization Form, a referral to off-campus facilities that provide immunizations, or questions about the health requirements, stop by or call the HWC.
The New Jersey State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have recently expressed concern about the nationwide increase in Meningococcal disease (Meningitis). College students, especially those who live in campus residence halls, may be at increased risk for contracting the disease. While not currently required by state law, it is suggested that students consult with their health care provider about whether vaccination against Meningitis would be beneficial. Stop by or call the HWC for more information or for referrals to off-campus facilities that provide immunization against Meningitis.
The HWC also provides health education to the NJCU community. A collection of brochures, covering a variety of health-related topics, is maintained. In addition, several special events such as World Aids Week, Health & Wellness Week, Sexual Responsibility Week, and Blood Drives are conducted throughout the academic year.
Health Insurance:
All students are strongly encouraged to maintain basic health/hospitalization insurance coverage. Low-cost health insurance may be purchased through the University-endorsed student health insurance carrier. Information and enrollment forms are available at www.BollingerInsurance.com/njcu, or at the Dean of Students' Office, GSU 316.
Hours:
Monday - Thursday 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Friday 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
