Health Providers’ Services

The Department of Health Services offers physician services on the Lorman campus and referral services at the Natchez campus. Please come by the Felix H. Dunn Infirmary to make an appointment. Mental health services are also available for students. Please contact the Office of Counseling and Testing at (601) 877-6230 for further information. Transportation is available for students with appointments made by these departments.

An official medical excuse will be given to a student to cover the time under the care of the Department of Health Services. The excuse must be taken to the Office of Counseling and Testing to receive an excuse for missing classes. Students are reminded that they are responsible for any class work missed.

The Department of Health Services does not provide dental services. Students are advised to arrange for such services prior to coming to school or during school breaks. Currently, no special medicine or injections (shots) are being administered for members of the University community.

Student Health Insurance

Full-time students are insured under a group insurance plan; however, this is a secondary policy and is not intended to replace major medical policies carried by the student or his/her parents. Any medical, physician, hospital, or dental bills not paid by insurance must be paid by the student and/or his parent(s).
