Student Health Services

Student Health Services Self-Care services are offered to all OSU students and are included in the OSU Health Fee at no additional charge. The Self-Care area is located just off of the main SHS lobby and no appointment is needed. It's a resource where students can assess their symptoms and determine self-care strategies. If needed, a nurse can assist students in their evaluations and recommend self-care measures. Depending on the severity and duration of symptoms, students may be referred to a clinician.
