Services during summer break: A list of emergency care or medical providers within our community is available on the SHS website's Resources page. We recommend that you discuss your insurance coverage directly with the medical facility or refer to your carrier for information regarding coverage.

Student Health Services (SHS) provides walk-in appointments for students who have urgent medical needs.  A walk-in patient will be seen by a Registered Nurse who will assess the medical needs of the patient. If it is determined that the patient has an urgent medical need, the Registered Nurse will refer the patient to one of the Student Health Services providers.  If it is determined by the Registered Nurse that the medical condition is not urgent, treatment recommendation(s) will be provided. A walk-in patient may experience an extended wait time depending on the number of walk-in patients in the reception area.

If a student needs medical attention, he or she may schedule an appointment. Same day appointments are typically available in the afternoon.

The SHS nurse is always available for a consultation regarding your immediate health concerns.  A conversation with one of our nurses may assist you in your decision to walk-in or make an appointment. SHS works hard to provide the best care possible for all students at the Claremont Colleges, whether by appointment, phone consultation or as a walk-in patient.

Student Health Services (SHS) has completed its annual patient satisfaction survey.  SHS provides a wide range of medical services to support students of The Claremont Colleges.  SHS sets a high standard for medical care and customer service.  We ask the students for their feedback to evaluate our performance.  A section is provided to give students an opportunity to comment on services or to make a suggestion or to ask a question.  In response to the comments and to acknowledge the students' questions, here are the answers to the two questions that may affect a number of students.
