Students with an after-hours emergency should telephone the physician on-call for medical advice; when necessary, they will be referred to the emergency room. Please note that emergency room visits, radiology, many laboratory tests, most prescriptions, and other services are not covered by the Student Health and Wellness Fee. Please see the link below for details on the separate health insurance that is required. Please make sure that your student brings his/her health insurance card and information to campus. The SCC services and resources are funded by a mandatory Health and Wellness Fee that students pay each quarter. The Health and Wellness Fee also covers short-term psychotherapy, medication management, and study skills counseling at Student Counseling and Resource Service (SCRS), please see the link below for more information. Although college is an exciting time, it may also be challenging for students as they make transitions to university life—a period marked by significant social, personal, and academic transitions for your student. Parents and families play an essential role in this transition, by preparing students for and supporting them through the challenges. Parents and families should talk with your students about expectations and consider ways to achieve their goals while at the University of Chicago. The SCC offers many programs and services to support your student in these transitions. For more information, please contact us. Important Phone Numbers and Websites
