What makes you eligible?
As a general rule, only those individuals that pay the student health portion of the student fees should be granted access. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as putting individuals in categories and then deciding, by category, if they are or are not paying the student health fees. The situation/determination can be as unique as the individual.
Virtually everybody pays the mandatory student fees. A few possible exceptions are below:
- Employees receiving a waiver
- Veterans
- Individuals auditing classes
- Metro College Alliance
NDSU employees receiving a waiver pay only the NDSU Technology Fee and the ND University System Fees. As a result, they do not have access to the Student Health Service clinic and pharmacy because they are not paying the student health portion of the student fees. Please note that just because someone is an employee, that does not mean they couldn't possibly be eligible to access Student Health. The employee may, for example, receive a waiver for one class but pay for two others out of pocket (and be paying all of the fees). Also, spouses and dependents do pay all of the student fees; only the tuition is waived. As a result, they do have access to the clinic and pharmacy.
Student Fees
Student Health Service is funded by a health fee included with tuition for full-time students each semester (pro-rated for part-time students). A breakdown of the cost of the student fees is available through the NDSU One Stop website. The student fee provides operational and personnel funding which includes, but is not limited to, salaries, benefits, programs and services that promote student health and wellness.
Student Fee Opt-in
Students enrolled in classes and are not paying student fees have the option to opt in to paying this fee to utilize services at Student Health Service for the current semester.
NDSU has also partnered with NDSCS students who may also opt in to this fee to utilize services for the current semester.
