If you are taking at least one on-campus credit hour, you can access the following health center services for no additional charge.

There are charges for physicals, preventive exams, prescriptions, immunizations, most lab services, X-rays, procedures, physical therapy, specialty care, etc.
- Flu shots: The health center usually begins offering flu shots around Oct. 1. More details about how to get your free flu shot will be shared in the coming weeks.
- Doctor-ordered chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV testing: To get a doctor’s order, call 402-472-5000 and follow the options to speak nurse about your desire to be tested. In some cases, you may need to meet with a health care provider to get a doctor’s order.
- Doctor-ordered wellness profiles: This blood draw gives you a snapshot of your health and detects possible problems. Talk to your health care provider about getting a doctor’s order for a wellness profile.
