Eligibility for 2012-2013 Academic Year

Any PSU student taking five (5) or more non-self-support* credit hours pays the PSU Student Health fee each term.  The Student Health Fee gives a student access to the services provided at the Center for Student Health and Counseling as well as the Student Health Insurance Plan administered by Aetna Student Health.

During summer term any student who was SHAC eligible in spring term can use SHAC on a fee-for-service basis. Learn about more options for Summer or for graduating seniors.
