Q's & A's
Q. What is the Mandatory Health Fee?
A. All students taking five or more credit hours (three or more during the summer) at the University of Northern Iowa are required to pay a Mandatory Health Fee.
The Mandatory Health Fee provides the following services to all students:
- Student Health Clinic services
- Wellness and Recreation services
- Counseling services
- A campus-wide public-health program including health-education and preventative substance-abuse and sexual-abuse programs
- Services for students with disabilities
- Services for victims of sexual assault
- Immunizations and travel-health information
Through the concept of shared responsibility, we can maintain a safe and healthy campus for the entire student body at a reasonable cost.
All students, even those who haven't used the Health Clinic, benefit from the programs and services supported by the Mandatory Health Fee.
Q. If I am student teaching or taking an internship off-campus and don't have access to the clinic, can I waive the Mandatory Health Fee?
A. Even though you may not be able to access the facility, we can't grant a request for waiver of the Mandatory Health Fee. The Mandatory Health Fee is a support fee for campus-wide health services, not a user fee. Other examples of support fees are the Computer Fee and Student Activity Fee.
