The services of the Athens-located University Health Center (UHC) are not currently offered at the Gwinnett Campus. Gwinnett Campus students do not pay the UGA student health fee as part of their standard fee package, but they are eligible to receive services offered on the Athens Campus. Interested students should call the UHC at 706-542-1162 for more information about how to pay the appropriate fees and receive services. Otherwise, Gwinnett Campus students, faculty, and staff have the following options when encountering health concerns.
Life Threatening Crises
Students, faculty, and staff who experience or encounter a potentially life-threatening health crisis on campus should immediately contact Gwinnett County emergency services by calling 911 (or 9-911 if using a campus phone).
Non-Life Threatening Injuries, Illnesses, and Concerns
When students require medical attention for clinical or psychological needs, they must utilize the services of their personal health care professional.
In addition, the Office of Student Affairs maintains a referral list of local, reduced cost mental health services, although the OSA does not endorse the services of any organization. This list can be obtained by visiting the office in Suite 153 or contacting us at 678-985-6767 or traetz@uga.edu.
Student Health Insurance
Students who are not already covered through parents, spouse/partner, or work health plans may wish to obtain coverage via a student health insurance policy. More information about comprehensive student health insurance can be found here:
