The University Health Center provides medical services and health-related information to students, faculty and staff and is located in the lower level of the Health Professions Center.
We recognize that health and education are precious assets. Our goal is to help you maintain or improve your health, allowing you to reach your highest potential in and out of the classroom. Deaconess Clinic employs the healthcare providers at the University Health Center.

Make sure to bring your Eagle Access Card (Student ID) when you come to campus. If you haven't gotten yours yet, you can obtain it from the Eagle Access Card office in the lower level of UC East.
Having the Eagle Access Card virtually eliminates the need to carry cash. Your Eagle Access Card serves as a means of access to different stored value accounts. Deposit funds into your FLEX or Munch Money account, and then use your Eagle Access Card all over campus to make purchases! Click here to learn more about the Eagle Access Card.
Students who did not receive their Eagle Access Card (Student ID) during their orientation may get theirs by scheduling an appointment to come on campus over the summer by emailing eaglecrd@usi.edu, by attending the Welcome Week Fair on Wednesday, August 17–Thursday, August 18 or by visiting the ID office before classes starting. For more information visit: usi.sodexomyway.com.

Get your textbooks and course materials for class.
- Use your USI planner to stay on top of all your homework and assignments.
- Know your class schedule - Welcome Week Leaders will be available during Welcome Week to show you where your classes are
- Meet at least one new person in each course to help make connections, find someone to study with and ask questions if you miss a class.
- Explore campus - you might find shortcuts to your classes, and the more you explore campus, the better you will be at finding new places you might need to get to or help fellow Screagles.
- Find good study spots - find the place that works for you and know what kind of environment you study best. Is it the 4th floor in the library with no noise, or is it in Starbucks where everyone is on the go?
