UCSC Student Health Center

SHS is OPEN with Limited Services. SHS is here for you no matter where you are: in person, on the phone, or online! We have in-person care for acute or urgent situations. For routine or non-urgent care, get support and care by phone, email, or online.

SHC Phone Appointments Are Here! Full appointments by phone (example: medication refills, birth control, UTIs, sore throat, acne, STI tests and more). Prescriptions and lab orders available. Referrals to speciality care in your area. To schedule, go to Health e-Messenger at studenthealth.ucsc.edu, choose "Appointments," then "Telephone Primary Care Provider Visit."

UCSC SHS Medical Staff is looking out for your safety and wellbeing! We care about your health, so we're following guidance from the CDC & the California Public Health Department. SHS visitors with signs of fever or respiratory illness will be screened in a separate waiting room.
