Student Health Fee and Health Center Charges

The UO student health fee allows eligible students to access the center's services. In addition, the student health fee funds wellness activities, provides access to contraceptives and safer sex resources, and enables the health center respond to and manage communicable disease outbreaks and campus health emergencies.  

Students are responsible for payment of medical services at the center, when referred for medical services not available at the center, and when using medical services outside of the center. Check the website for further information about the cost of services.

Student Health Insurance

The University of Oregon provides the UO Student Health Benefits Plan, which offers excellent coverage at affordable rates, including 100 percent coverage for most services at the University Health Center. International students are automatically enrolled in the plan; domestic students must opt-in to the plan before published deadlines.  

The University Health Center is now accepting some insurance plans as an in-network provider. Check the website for further information about insurance billing options.

Immunization Requirements

The University of Oregon has immunization and communicable disease screening requirements for all incoming students. Students are encouraged to satisfy all of their immunization requirements before arriving on campus. The following vaccines are required:

• Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) (two doses or proof of immunity or birthdate prior to 1957)
• Meningococcal quadrivalent (serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135) vaccination for all students younger than 22 (dose received on or after age 16)
• Varicella (chickenpox) (two doses or proof of immunity)
• Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) (one dose on or after age 11)

Incoming students also must complete an online screening questionnaire for tuberculosis (TB). Results of this evaluation, in addition to documentation of required vaccinations (or evidence of immunity to these diseases) must be submitted to the center. Visit the health center website for more information.

While not required at this time, the center highly recommends vaccines for meningococcal B strain, hepatitis A and B, and human papillomavirus (HPV), in addition to an annual flu shot. Pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for students with certain medical conditions.
