GENERAL INFO

Eligibility

The Student Health Center is committed to ensuring easy and equal access to our services by all enrolled students regardless of income level, ability to pay, age, color, gender, disability, religion, national origin, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and /or veteran status. Students of Lamar University or Lamar Institute of Technology are eligible for all Health Center services if they are registered for classes during the current semester, have been assessed the Student Health fee for that semester, and present a valid Lamar I. D. card. The Student Health fee is mandatory for all official students, and is included in the tuition bill for each semester. Students who are not enrolled in the current semester, or are participating in special classes or events which do not include health fees are not eligible for any services.
Exception: During Mini-session, students who are not enrolled in Mini Session but were enrolled in the previous long semester may use the Health Center for a one-time charge of the mini-session health fee. During summer sessions, students who were enrolled in the previous long semester and who are enrolled in the fall semester may be allowed to services by paying the associated summer health fee.

Spouses or children of students are not eligible for services at the Health Center under any circumstances. However, optional student insurance is available to cover dependents, who may seek medical care with a private physician, or at one of the local medical facilities.

Faculty/staff of Lamar University may receive limited services such as flu shots, blood pressure checks, and certain laboratory tests. Because we are totally funded through student fees, faculty and staff are not eligible for examination, consultation, or treatment by any of the practitioners; unless referred by Human Resources due to a work related injury.
