UHS is offering a walk in flu clinic for students only on Wednesday, September 28th from 1-4pm in Rangos Hall in the CUC.

When preparing for your flu shot appointment, remember to wear a top with short sleeves or sleeves that can easily roll up.

For students with the CMU student health insurance plan, the $30 cost of the flu vaccine is fully covered by Highmark. For students who waived the CMU student health insurance plan, the $30 cost of the flu vaccine will post to your student account. You can submit a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement using the receipt of payment and it is likely to be fully covered, although not guaranteed. A downloadable copy of the receipt for a flu shot can be obtained in the HealthConnect portal under “Statements.”

For those who can’t make the clinic, additional appointments at University Health Services are available. You can make a flu shot appointment online by logging onto your SIO and using the HealthConnect link to schedule.

Join the Center Fellows This Friday, April 23rd at 4PM for a discussion about mental health and resources! The first 25 attendees to register will be provided with reimbursement for a meal and 4 individuals will be randomly selected for bookstore credit.

Being directly impacted by racism, discrimination and/or systemic oppression can feel like an added pressure that you are having to deal with on top of the stress of being a student. If you are feeling that way, know you are not alone. Join this CaPs support group to understand how racial and ethnic discrimination impacts your mind, body, and feelings, and find ways to work through them in a supportive and healing space.
