Health Services is a campus medical facility that is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The Health Services staff assists students in achieving and maintaining optimal health. The staff provides primary medical care emphasizing health education.

The office provides a full range of primary care services, including assessment and treatment of acute illness, laboratory tests, allergy injections, treatment for sports injuries, men’s and women’s health care and immunizations. Commonly prescribed medicines are available for purchase. Referrals to specialists are available as necessary. Health Services supports the larger University community by serving as a clinical placement site for the School of Health and Medical Sciences and the College of Nursing.

Required Health Records and Immunizations

Health Services complies with New Jersey laws, the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and University policy by requiring all matriculated students to meet specified health requirements. Required online documents can be accessed through PirateNet in the Student Health Portal. The department website also provides a link to the Student Health Portal. Failure to submit required health history and vaccine data will result in a registration hold.

Mandatory Health Insurance

All full-time students must carry health insurance. Full- time students who do not submit an electronic waiver form (located on PirateNet) will be automatically enrolled in the University-Sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan. For plan information and waiver deadlines, please review information on the website. Contact Student Services (973) 761-9075 if further information is needed.
