HEALTH FEE
What is the health fee?
The health fee provides the UGA community the opportunity to receive quality, multi-disciplinary health care, wellness and health maintenance within a few steps of campus classes. It is affordable and convenient, and our physicians and staff are highly trained and Board Certified in their fields to specifically provide age-appropriate services and health information within the context of the college campus.
All UGA students and their spouses/partners may use health center services. Full-time students pay a health fee each semester (fees-paid student). Students taking five or fewer credit hours and all students’ spouses and domestic partners may elect to pay the health fee or choose to use the health center on a fee-for-service basis.
