Helping Today for a Healthy Tomorrow

The Student Health Service (SHS) is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. Our purpose is to promote and preserve the health and well-being of all registered students so that they may pursue their academic goals. Most services are available at no cost. Modest fees are charged for some services, such as: urgent care, prescriptions, travel clinic, immunizations, optometry, some lab and x-ray tests, and some specialty clinic visits. UCSD students paying full registration fees may be seen at SHS regardless of their insurance coverage. For specific information about the Undergraduate or Graduate Student Health Insurance Plans (USHIP and GSHIP), please refer to the Health Insurance information on our Web page.
