Immunizations and Medical History
All students are
required to have a history of current immunizations on file prior to enrollment.
All clients will complete a medical history questionnaire on their first visit
to the office. There is a small fee for some services to cover the cost of
vaccines and lab work.
The Mission
of Health Services
USC Upstate Health Services operates within the
mission and goals of the university by offering student services designed to
enhance the holistic development of students.
Health Services
assists in providing general education which emphasizes personal responsibility
for life-long learning and physical well-being. In keeping with the university's
metropolitan focus Health Services strives to provide excellent health promotion
programs, which emphasize coordination and interface with resources in the
surrounding communities.
The Importance of Confidentiality
No one, including providers of health care, faculty and parents, has
access to student's medical information without written permission from the
student. The law mandates reporting certain communicable diseases (sexually
transmitted diseases, measles, etc.) to public health officials.
