Schedule Appointment

There are several ways to schedule an appointment in Health Services:

Please refer to the Okta verify instructions for assistance with the health portal.

1)    Self-schedule online:

  • For students feeling sick or with a more immediate health concern
  • Limited number of morning appointments each day for self-scheduling through your health portal (We are trying out this new feature and hope to expand self-scheduling soon)
  • Appointments will become available on Friday evenings for the following business week
  • Step-by-step instructions:
  1. Login to Health Services Portal
  2. Go to "Appt. Scheduling"
  3. Choose "Schedule Appt."
  4. Follow prompts to search for an appointment
  • If no self-scheduled visits available, appointments may still be available by submitting an appointment request (see below)
  • If appointment is no longer needed, please cancel so the appointment can be used by another student

2)    Submit an appointment request:

  • For students with an injury, illness or symptoms, or to speak with a nurse
  • Step-by-step instructions to submit an appointment request through your health portal:
  1. Login to Health Services Portal
  2. Go to "My Forms"
  3. Select "Sick Appointment Request" form, complete form and submit
  4. Nurse will review the information and contact you to discuss symptoms and schedule appropriately
  5. If the concern is time sensitive and you do not receive a call back within 2 hours, please call to follow-up

3)    Call Health Services:
