Going to the Student Health Center

It’s inevitable that sometime during you college career you will have to visit the Student Health Center, also known as PUSH. I know the first time I went I was very confused on what to do, but it’s very easy you just have to follow these few simple steps:

1. First of all try to go early in the day you have a better chance of getting an earlier appointment time.

2. Make sure before you go you bring you student ID and medical card. If you don’t have your medical card just make sure you know your health insurance information.

3. Once you walk in go to the left and up the stairs you will see a desk that’s says CHECK IN, there may or may not be a line. The person at the desk will ask for you student ID and medical card. They will then offer you an appointment time, it’s usually the same day. If the time they give you does not work with you they can schedule you another time that’s more convenient.

4. Come back at your scheduled time; try to arrive a few minuets early. You will go to the same check in desk and they will give you a slip of paper telling you what room to go in.

5. Once you find the room their will be a nurse in there that will take your vitals and write down your symptoms. You will then be asked to go into another room which is where the doctor will be.
6. If the doctor gives you a prescription it’s very easy to get it filled. You will have to walk to the Pharmacy building which is right next to PUSH.

7. There will be a counter where you will check in, it usually takes about a half hour to get a prescription filled so you can either wait there or come back later in the day.
