Health Services
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
functionality 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.
To secure a local referral in Illinois or Florida, stop by the
Office of Student Services where personnel are on duty to answer
your questions and provide the assistance you need.
Resources for Veteran Students and their
Families

is often just the first step in a longer re-adjustment
process.
