Physical Health

Student Health Services provides assessment, testing, treatment and education for acute illnesses and minor uncomplicated medical problems. We also connect students to community providers. We have limited medications on site to treat common illnesses.

Student health services are not comprehensive and are not structured to address all the health care needs of students. Some medical conditions will be referred to outside medical agencies.

The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated every year. This page has resources to help answer your questions about the flu vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/index.html

California Community Colleges do not require proof of immunization for enrollment. Depending on the major, immunizations may be necessary prior to acceptance into selected programs. Students should consult with the specific department for further information.
