Services and Fees
Services
Your undergraduate or law school tuition entitles you to see a Cowell Student Health Center clinician at no charge, regardless of what health insurance you carry. However, charges are associated with lab work, medications, and medical supplies ordered for you. These charges are posted to your student account. A receipt can be provided for possible insurance reimbursement. Graduate and part-time students may choose to pay a fee of $90 per quarter for the same services.
Cowell Student Health Center provides initial and follow-up care for students with acute illness such as strep throat, flu, mononucleosis, allergic reactions, urinary tract infections, minor injuries, and more.
Other commonly requested services include:

- Health Insurance - Santa Clara University requires that all full time undergraduate and all international students show proof of health insurance coverage. Law students must have a signed waiver or release on file at the Health Center. They may also enroll in the school sponsored insurance program. Cowell Health Center will assist you with your current health insurance claims when you receive services at Cowell or are referred to an area medical provider.
