Welcome to Student Health Service

Your safety is our main priority! We are currently following federal, state, and local guidelines to ensure your safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, or had a potential exposure, you are encouraged to contact Student Health Service at 715-836-5075 or COVIDinfo@uwec.edu.

Making an appointment

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to offer online web-booking at this time.  Please contact our staff at 715-836-5360 to schedule an appointment. We are also available by e-mail at shs@uwec.edu.

During the Fall 2020 semester we are still offering a wide range of services and appointments regarding acute illness, injuries, mental health, and additional concerns.  To ensure the safety of our campus community, many of our appointments will now be completed via phone or virtual, with limited in-person appointments as deemed necessary.  

If you feel you are having a medical emergency, please CALL 911.

Free COVID-19 testing for UWEC students

The Blugold Protocol app will guide you if you are experiencing symptoms and need a test. For all UW-Eau Claire students, COVID-19 testing is free at SHS (by appointment only) if you have:

• a temp of 100 degrees or higher
• symptoms related to COVID-19
• had contact with a person who has tested positive for the virus

Once you have an appointment for COVID-19 testing at SHS, testing is being completed at an outdoor tent located on the west entrance of Crest Wellness Center (by Sutherland Hall and the ropes course).

Antigen for students without symptoms or close contact is currently being completed at McPhee.

Students may also choose to have their personal health care provider conduct the testing. Faculty and staff should contact their health care provider if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.

Receiving a positive test

All Blugolds (students, faculty and staff) who test positive for COVID-19 should inform SHS, which is working closely with the Eau Claire City-County Health Department.

Quarantine vs. isolation

Quarantine

All students, those living on and off campus, may be required to go into quarantine if they have had contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19. You must remain in your room in quarantine for 14 days, and you should only leave your room for a medical appointment. You must wear a mask if you leave your room for a medical appointment.

Isolation

Isolation is required for students displaying symptoms who are awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test. Students in isolation must only leave their room for a medical appointment, and they must wear a mask to go to those appointments. Students who test positive for the virus must remain in isolation and await further guidance from Student Health Service and/or their doctor.

Your on-campus healthcare provider

Student Health Service continues to provide affordable, accessible, inclusive, and high-quality health care for all students at UW-Eau Claire. We offer a wide variety of clinical services and health education programs designed to enhance the overall health and wellness of the campus community.

Interpreting services

Student Health Service strives to ensure students are well-informed and understand their treatment plan following an appointment.  We have interpreting services available upon request and would be happy to help facilitate the use of this service.
