When your student is away at college, their health and well-being remain a top priority. Join the UMass Dartmouth Student Health Services team to learn about the comprehensive medical care and wellness resources available to support your student's success throughout the academic year.

During this interactive session, you'll learn about:

  • The services provided by Student Health Services and where the Health Center is located.
  •           The most common health concerns college students experience and how they're treated.
  • How the University responds to medical emergencies and supports students when they become ill or injured.
  • Medical Leaves of Absence and when they may be appropriate.
  • Required immunizations, titer requirements, and the health compliance process.
  • Student health insurance requirements and the waiver process.
  • Practical ways parents and families can support their student's physical and emotional well-being while encouraging independence.

Whether your student is living on campus or commuting, this session will provide valuable information to help you feel confident that they have access to quality healthcare and support whenever they need it.

Bring your questions! The presentation will conclude with a live Q&A, giving parents and family members an opportunity to hear directly from our Health Services staff.

Healthy students are more successful students. We look forward to seeing you there!
