Clinic hours:

UPDATE!! Clinic hours will be 9-12 pm and 1-5 pm Monday through Thursday beginning June 14, 2021 for the summer.

Services:

At SHCC, we continue to adapt and evolve through this COVID experience, evaluating our needs and the needs of students to ensure great care in a timely manner. We continue to provide counseling and medical services to eligible students. 

Who is eligible for SHCC services?

Students assessed the health fee are eligible for services. Students taking 1+ credit of in-person classes on the Monmouth campus are automatically assessed the health fee. All other registered students may choose to opt-in to have the fee assessed to their student account.

For summer services, if student is not taking 1+ credit of in-person classes, they must have completed spring 2021 term AND be registered for fall term AND pay the heath fee.

How much is the health fee?

The health fee is $150 per term. It is billed to your student account.

What are the exceptions?

There are students taking online only courses that would not be eligible for services based on their location and due to licensing rules. Medical providers can only practice in the state of Oregon, so students accessing medical care must be in Oregon. Counselors have been extended some grace in practicing out of state in some cases. Therefore, students wanting counseling services must be in Oregon, California, Washington, Arizona, and Idaho. For out of state students, you must have already been engaged with SHCC services to qualify. The qualifying states may change pending the ongoing pandemic, so call if you have questions on whether your state is included.

Why should I opt in?

There are advantages to opting in for the health fee now. Once you opt in, it will be assessed to your student account. If you opt in now, it will be covered by vocational rehab, financial aid, veteran services, etc. This service is highly recommended for students living on campus or in nearby communities, for students who do not have insurance, and for students who want the comfort of knowing they can access medical and counseling services at any time.

Appointments:

Students are encouraged to call the SHCC to schedule medical and counseling appointments rather than walk in. Students coming onto the premises for their scheduled appointment must follow the Use of Face Coverings During COVID-19 Pandemic Policy.

We are open and will continue to serve you. In order to practice social distancing and to keep our staff and students healthy, we have made the following changes:
