FOR IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY HELP CALL 911.
Everybody feels off now and then — from a simple cough to the need for counseling. Your health clinic (SHPS), supported by the mandatory student health fee paid at registration, is here for you. To make an appointment call the Office of Student Health and Psychological Services. Walk-in appointments are NOT available.
*Note: If you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19 stay or go home, call Health Services and someone from our office will contact you to provide support and further guidance for safe return to campus.
Don't know if you need Emergency or Urgent Care Services?
There are important differences between the ER and urgent care center.
- Get to the ER as soon as possible for critical conditions such as chest pain, seizure, difficulty breathing, unusual abdominal pain, loss of consciousness, suicidal or homicidal feelings, coughing up or vomiting blood, or auto accident.
- An urgent care center treats minor illnesses and injuries that aren’t life-threatening. Visit an urgent care center for issues including fever, back pain, sprains, sore throat, ear infections, mild asthma, minor cuts, rashes, minor burns, and flu-like symptoms.
Phone: (951) 222-8151
