Student health care and insurance requirements
Campus health clinic
Augustana Convenient Care is located in Baldur House just behind the Gerber Center, next to Casa Latina. While the clinic will make it easier for students to access health services on campus, it is not meant to replace the requirement for students to maintain health insurance coverage; available options follow below.
If your student needs to see a physician on a routine basis (diabetes monitoring or allergy shots, for example), we urge you to establish a relationship with a local physician.
Note: Students who are under age 18 when they enroll at Augustana will need a parent or guardian to fill out a medical consent form. This information is required for students under age 18 to receive medical treatment.
