Every student enrolled in more than three credit hours is assessed a health fee of $105.76 per semester, which allows them access to the IU Health Center at a discounted rate. (Visits to the clinic cost $20, appointments with specialists start at $25.) The health center is located at the corner of Jordan Avenue and 10th Street, across from the Wells Library.
Only open on weekdays, the health center will see students with or without an appointment in the medical clinic. Also available are a pharmacy, lab tests, X-rays, eye clinic, gyn services, allergy shots, physical therapy and Counseling and Psychological Services.
Note: The IU Health Center only accepts Aetna Student Health insurance. If you don’t have Aetna, then the itemized receipt can be given to your insurance company to reimbursement. The pharmacy, however, does accept most prescription cards.

Students can talk to professional counselors or seek psychiatric treatment for a number of mental health concerns.
