STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

Welcome to Temple University (TU)! At Student Health Services (SHS), we take your health and well being personally. Maintaining good health is important to the successful completion of your college career. If you do not feel well, it is hard to concentrate on your studies or to participate in extra-curricular activities. SHS offers the same type of medical services you would receive from your own primary care doctor.

The clinical staff in SHS - nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians and a dietitian can help when you are not feeling your best. When you do not feel well, time can make a difference, so do not wait until you feel worse. See us at the onset of an illness so that we can evaluate you and start you on a course of treatment early. You will be back in good health sooner, which means you'll be able to get back to your studies and other activities more quickly.

When you enroll at TU, you pay a Student Health Fee each semester. This fee entitles you to use the services of SHS. The fee covers most of your routine and urgent care visits. There are additional charges for administrative physical exams (such as those for work or drivers’ licenses), lab tests, medications, certain procedures and supplies. SHS is a provider of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Family Planning Council. This enables us to provide many gynecological services at little or no cost to you.
