health needs also require medication, CAPS works collaboratively with Medical Services for
medication management. CAPS also provides psychiatric services.
Urgent Care
For those times when an appointment cannot be made in advance, urgent problems or new injuries
may be seen on a walk-in basis through the nurse’s clinic. Patients are assessed by a registered nurse
who provides treatment or makes an immediate, same-
day or next-day referral to a physician/nurse practitioner.
Waiting times for the nurse’s clinic may vary depending on
the number and complexity of these visits. In the evenings
and late nights, sick students may benefit from calling the
after-hours nurse line. Students may call 864-656-2233
and press option two for instructions to reach a registered
nurse who will provide advice for self-care and directions
for further care if necessary. If treatment is needed at
an outside facility, there are a few urgent care centers, a
minute clinic and three nearby emergency rooms in the
area. Services at these facilities are at the expense of the
student. Visit to see a list of after-
hours health care facilities in the area.
If the stress of college life becomes overwhelming,
students with after-hours psychological emergencies
may call Clemson University police at 864-656-2222
and ask to speak with the CAPS on-call counselor.
MyHealth-e
The student MyHealth-e web portal is an online resource for managing many health matters.
Students may schedule certain appointments, cancel appointments, sign up for text message
appointment reminders, complete forms, upload immunization records, send and receive secure
messages from certain staff and view/print their bills.
Pharmacy
Our full-service pharmacy, staffed by experienced, licensed pharmacists and technicians, fills
prescriptions from both Student Health Services and off-campus medical providers. We are available
to talk with students about their medications. We accept most pharmacy insurance plans and offer
24/7 refill requests.
Health Fee, Insurance and Billing
Full-time students will pay a health fee that supports services offered by Student Health Services,
including professional services of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and health promotion
