Health Care Services

The Louisiana State University Student Health Clinic offers a variety of health services. However,  if you have an emergency, you should dial 911 or go directly to an emergency department.

Physicians and Nurse Practitioners in the Student Health Clinic are board certified. We provide routine routine wellness visits and physicals, blood work, immunizations and titers, and STI screenings.

There's no visit fee for students in the student health clinic. However, charges for vaccines, laboratory tests, and imaging are submitted to the student's insurance carrier, and the student may be responsible for the balance. 

Faculty who provide health or psychiatric care of students are not involved in the grading, evaluation, or promotion of students.

Mental Health Counseling

Counseling services are available both on and off campus. Students are encouraged to seek assistance for emotional difficulties, marital and family distress, academic concerns, substance use, and other personal problems.  Counseling services include a 24-hour crisis line (504) 568-HELP (4357), short-term counseling, and referrals for more extensive counseling and/or psychiatric care.  Short-term counseling services are covered by the student health fee.  Expenses for long-term and/or psychiatric care arranged by referral must be covered by the individual student's insurance carrier. Please contact Campus Assistance Program (CAP) at (504) 568-8888.
