New Student Physicals
All new students are given required physical examinations at the National University Whole Health Center, with the cost of such examination included as part of the first trimester student fees. Health care provided to the student, student's spouse and children is coordinated through the Whole Health Center. A prerequisite for the first chiropractic palpation course is a completed new student physical. All new students are encouraged to schedule their new student physical at their earliest convenience during their first trimester of attendance.
Student Health Insurance
For information regarding student health insurance options under the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as PPACA or ACA, contact the Office of Student Services.
Counseling and Mental Health Services
Occasional challenges and crises in life don't stop just because
you are enrolled in school. Depression, helplessness, anxiety,
homesickness, marital conflicts, and many other personal issues are
common student dilemmas. The Dean of Students is available to offer
basic help with some of these problems but, very often, more
intensive professional counseling succeeds at regaining daily
funcitonality and longer lasting developmental change through
insights guided by a trained professional.
The University can provide referrals for clinical counseling
services for NUHS students from an independent entity not
affiliated with the University's other clinical services. The
provider will accept most insurance coverage programs. Sessions are
strictly confidential; records are not shared with NUHS personnel.
The center has a clinical director who has taught as an adjunct
professor with NUHS. You can contact the center at 630-372-6599 or
www.VCCNewHope.com.
Resources for Veteran Students and their Families
For veterans, their friends and families, the return home is often just the first step in a longer re-adjustment process.
This site (http://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/college/students.asp) provides resources on a wide range of issues to help vets following deployment - topics such as transitioning to life at home, uncovering signs of emotional problems and dealing with war trauma.
