Student Health Center

The Student Health Center provides a full-range of primary care services including the evaluation, treatment and prevention of all kinds of acute or chronic physical, mental and social health issues. Our clinical staff includes Board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners, registered nurses, laboratory technicians, a pharmacist, and several support staff, all of whom deliver high-quality patient care to full time students at the College. The Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) has awarded the Student Health Center at the College of William & Mary another three-year term of accreditation. This accreditation affirms that the Health Center meets and will continue to demonstrate the attributes as reflected in the standards of the accrediting body. The Student Health Center is accredited through 2025.
There is fee for office visits, as well as a fee for certain services, labs, pharmacy and medical supplies. Information about fees and charges can be found on our website. All matters between a student and the Health Center staff are confidential and will not be released without the student’s written consent (except in the case of life threatening situations, medical emergencies, severe emotional or psychological distress, or when required and/or permitted by law).
Virginia state law requires all full-time students who are enrolling in a four-year public institution to provide a health history and an official immunization record. The university further requires all full-time students (including previously matriculated students) as well as any other student eligible for services as determined by their department (i.e. Language House tutors, students with an approved underload, or transfer students) to provide documentation of the same immunization requirements and health history. This form will not be accepted if the physician completing and signing the form is a family member. Previously enrolled students who are reentering as full-time students after an absence of 2 years or more must update their forms to meet current requirements. Additionally, enrolled students who are reentering as full-time students after an absence from campus of 6 years or more must resubmit the entire form. This information MUST be submitted on William & Mary’s Health Evaluation Form. In order to be eligible for medical care, students must have paid a Health Fee for the current semester and completed the Health Evaluation Form. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the following actions: prevention from registering for classes, ineligibility for non-urgent medical care at the Student Health Center, the assessment of a fine on your student account, and may also result in eviction from the residence halls and/or removal from campus (depending on the medical issue).
The university requires all full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted Fall 2006 or after and all F-1 and J-1 international students to have health insurance coverage throughout the school year as a condition of enrollment. These students will be enrolled in the college-endorsed Student Health Insurance Plan and the cost will be billed to their student account in two installments (fall and spring semester) UNLESS proof of other adequate health insurance coverage is furnished. Students who already have health insurance for the entire academic year must submit a waiver request by the posted deadline each academic year and the waiver request must be approved to avoid being enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. All other full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted prior to Fall 2006 are not required by the university to have health insurance coverage but are eligible to enroll in the college-endorsed Student Health Insurance Plan on a voluntary basis. It is the student’s responsibility to verify whether or not the charge has been billed to your student account. If there is a billing error, you should contact the Student Insurance Coordinator immediately. To access the waiver or enrollment request forms and for more information about the insurance requirement or the college-endorsed insurance plan, please visit www.wm.edu/health/insurance.

The Haven is a confidential, welcoming, and inclusive resource center for those impacted by sexual violence and harassment, relationship abuse and intimate-partner violence, stalking, and other gender-based discrimination. The Haven welcomes all who may have questions or concerns, who need timely safety information and resources, and who are seeking support and connection. The Haven is a place where students can go without a report being made to the school. Trained peer Confidential Advocates, as well as the professional staff of The Haven, are confidential resources. Confidential resources are NOT required to report incidences of sexual violence and harassment, relationship abuse and intimate-partner violence, stalking, and other gender-based discrimination to William & Mary. This allows students to get timely health and safety information, support, and resources, hear about reporting options, learn about academic support and campus modifications, and other remedies before taking further action. Most faculty and staff are considered mandated reporters. Please keep this in mind before disclosing your own, or your friends, experiences of harassment, assault, or abuse. The Haven offers several opportunities for survivors to connect with others who have had similar experiences through a variety of different groups, sessions, or workshops.
