Eligibility to Use NU Health Service

 
 
 

If you are a full-time student registered for the current quarter, you are eligible to use the Health Service as your primary healthcare provider, regardless of the source of your health insurance. For regular, daytime NU students, full-time is defined as enrollment in three or more credits worth of courses, except during the summer quarter, when it is defined as two or more credits worth of courses. This does not apply to the School of Continuing Studies students, who must pay the clinic use fee each quarter to use NUHS regardless of academic load. Please reference the Departments and Services Web page for more specific information on the scope of health care services available.

Students who are not enrolled during the current quarter may utilize the Health Service by paying the quarterly clinic use fee. The clinic use fee applies to students on both campuses. This opportunity is valid to all students who are enrolled during the current academic year. Part-time students, including School of Continuing Studies, may pay on a quarterly basis to be eligible to use the Health Service. Questions regarding a student's status may be directed to the NU Insurance Office by calling 847 491-2113.

Important Tip

Having a hospitalization insurance policy does not make you eligible to use the clinic. Even if you are eligible to use the clinic and have hospitalization insurance, some costs will be charged to you if they are not covered by your insurance plan (please see the Web page on Insurance).
