Health and Wellness Services policies and enrollment requirements
Enrollment policy and requirements
The following documents are required for enrollment at St. Norbert College. All forms must be on file in Health and Wellness Services to complete registration for classes. A medical exam and plan of care are only required if a chronic medical condition exists (diabetes, epilepsy, eating disorder, physical disability, etc.).
1. A health history/immunization record
2. Immunizations
Each student's immunizations must be documented by the date of entrance into St. Norbert College. These include:
- 2 MMR; 1st dose after the first birthday, 2nd dose at least 1 month after first dose
- Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (4) DTP
- Diphtheria, Tetanus (every 10 years) Td
- Tetanus/diphtheria/acellular pertussis one time dose after age 8; Dtap or Tdap
Immunizations that are not up to date may be obtained at your doctor's office or at St. Norbert College Health and Wellness Services. Students who do not provide dates of immunizations will be prevented from registering for classes until proof of record is received.
If you find it difficult to locate your immunization records, contact your pediatrician's office, your high school or grade school, or the local public health office. Please make every effort to have these records sent to us prior to enrollment in classes. It becomes increasingly difficult to track down records after you arrive on campus.
3. A tuberculosis questionnaire.
A TB skin test within the past year is required for all foreign born students and individuals who lived in another country for more than three months.
4. Personal Health Insurance
Personal Health Insurance is a requirement to attend St. Norbert College. Students will automatically be enrolled in the St. Norbert College Student Health Insurance Plan, unless an insurance waiver form is submitted.
To enroll in the St. Norbert College student insurance plan complete this form and return to the St. Norbert College Finance Office BEFORE August 15, 2009.
To sign a waiver click on this online student center link and follow the directions.
Please review with your insurance company where health care can be accessed in the Green Bay area. You may wish to send a medical access form to St. Norbert College Health and Wellness Services. A medical access form will allow Health and Wellness Services to more easily make referrals to specified area clinics with less stress for students in determining where they can access medical care.
The St. Norbert College health record is confidential and is only released with the written consent of the student. For more information on the confidentiality policy of Health and Wellness Services visit the confidentiality web page.
Changing your therapist
In most circumstances we will honor your request to change your therapist or counselor and make sure you can meet with the provider of your choosing. However, in some situations it may not be in your best interest to seek another therapist in counseling and testing, and you will be given the following options:
- Discuss your concerns with your current therapist and attempt to resolve the issue.
- Meet with a different provider in Counseling and Testing Services that we believe is suited to your need.
- Seek care off-campus (You would need to check with your insurance carrier to determine which agency participates in your health network).
Reasons why you may not be allowed to make a counseling and testing services change of therapist:
- The person you wish to meet with is not skilled in the clinical areas you may need.
- The issues you are concerned about are commonly found in treatment and by addressing them directly with the current therapist, you will develop the skills necessary to work through conflict or disagreement.
Again, in most cases we would honor your request. However, we may not honor the request if in our professional judgment, it would not advance your therapy.
If you would like to submit a request to change your therapist or provider, please complete and submit the student request to change counseling and testing provider or therapist form.
Medical withdrawal policy
For students with health conditions who cannot complete their course work and the last date to withdraw from courses has expired, they may be eligible for a medical withdrawal.
