Health Center
www.umes.edu/studenthealth
The Charles R. Drew Student Health Center assists students in maintaining their physical wellbeing by providing basic health care services such as treatment for acute conditions, immunizations and screenings.
All registered students, including graduate, transfer and international students, regardless of number of credit hours being taken, are required to provide a completed health history form and proof of up‐to‐date immunization status for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and tuberculosis (TB) prior to registering for and/or attending classes. Students living in campus housing must also meet the meningitis requirement.
Registration blocks will be placed on students who have not submitted the required documents. This will prevent students from registering for/or attending classes until the records are received and processed. To avoid delays, students should submit the records as soon as possible.
The deadlines for submission are: August 1 for the Fall semester and January 1 for the Spring semester.
Students who encounter difficulty obtaining documentation should contact the Student Health Center for assistance.
A University‐sponsored health insurance plan is available. Full‐time international students (undergraduate and graduate) are automatically enrolled in the insurance plan unless they opt out. To opt out of the University health insurance plan, students must sign the insurance waiver in the Student Health Center and present proof of current valid health insurance coverage. Waivers must be completed by September 7 in the Fall and by February 7 in the Spring. If no waiver is completed, the student’s account will be billed for insurance at the current rate.
Domestic graduate students (full or part‐time) are eligible for the plan but must enroll directly. Copies of the insurance brochure may be obtained from the Student Health Center or accessed online at http://njcservices.com/umes.htm Students with questions about using the insurance should contact the Health Center staff.
