Eligibility for care

Health Services provides services for enrolled students.For Fall semesters, last date of service is the Friday before winter break. For Spring semesters, last date of service is graduation. ** After the day of Commencement graduated students are no longer eligible for services. ** During summer students are only eligible for care if enrolled in summer classes, working on-campus, doing research, and/or living on-campus. A student living in the Saratoga area is not eligible for services unless one of the previously stated requirements are met.   

In order to better serve students and provide a safe environment for everyone, we ask you to schedule an appointment in advance rather than walk in to be seen. We can usually offer same or next-day appointments and we will do our best to make sure you are seen as quickly as possible.
