Eligibility
Eligibility for Student Health Center services is governed by California State University (CSU) Executive Orders 943 and 1053. These orders set the parameters under which all CSU campuses provide medical and mental health services.
- Mandatory Health Fee and Current Enrollment
- Open University
- Quarter Off
- Expired Eligibility
- First Aid
Mandatory Health Fee and Current Enrollment
Registration fees for all CSU students include mandatory health fees (MHF) that support the provision of medical and mental health services. These fees, along with current enrollment, confer eligibility for use of campus health services.
The MHF enables the Student Health Center to provide eligible students a wide range of health services, many at no additional cost. Services with additional fees are provided at the lowest possible cost without compromising quality health care.
Students enrolled at one CSU campus are eligible for basic health services provided by other CSU student health centers. Proof of current enrollment must be shown before receiving services.
Open University
Students enrolled in classes through Open University are eligible to take advantage of Student Health Center services upon payment of the Mandatory Health Fee (MHF) to the Student Health Center Cashier. This eligibility is valid only during quarters in which students are enrolled in classes and have paid the MHF. Please note: additional service fees may be applicable. Open enrollment students are not eligible for quarter off services.
Quarter Off
Students taking off one quarter are eligible for Student Health Center services if the student: 1) was enrolled the immediately preceding quarter; and 2) pays the mandatory health fee (MHF). Please note: additional service fees may be applicable.
Students taking off two or more consecutive quarters off are not eligible for Student Health Center services.
Expired Eligibility
Students taking off two or more consecutive quarters and Open University students taking a quarter off are not eligible for Student Health Center services. Students who are no longer eligible for services while in the process of medical or psychological follow-up care are referred to outside providers.
