Health and Wellness
Your health and well-being are essential to your success—both in and out of the classroom. Our Student Health Center houses our on-campus Student Health Clinic which provides basic health care services on a drop in or appointment basis, as well as Mental Health Services which offers short-term mental health counseling. If you need services beyond what we can provide you here on campus, we can connect you with clinics and other resources in the community. We are here to help you stay healthy both mentally and physically on your academic journey!

Student Health Clinic Policies
Confidentiality
We adhere to very strict Federal regulations on healthcare privacy (HIPAA). The student's time here is private and confidential. HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
Confidentiality may be broken if the patient poses a danger to themselves or others.
Treatment of Minors
Any student under the age of 18 is required to have a parental consent form signed and on file at the clinic before receiving treatment (except in emergencies or cases exempted by law). This form can be picked up at the Student Health Clinic, or view the minor consent form to print and complete at home.
Minors under 17 need to be accompanied by a parent.
Accident and Injury Insurance
The Butte-Glenn College District covers students for injuries that occur on campus, in college-sponsored activities and classes, and while traveling under college supervision to and from such activities. The injured student must file an insurance claim at SHC within 90 days of the injury. Please make sure a Student Accident/Injury Report is completed before filing a claim.
Complete a Student Accident/Injury Report, then send the completed form to the Student Health Clinic, Parking Lot 3C.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For care beyond the scope of the Student Health Center or when the Student Health Center is closed, there are several extended-hour prompt care and hospitals within miles of campus.
The cost of service at off-campus facilities is the responsibility of the student. Therefore, it is important that all students have health insurance that provides coverage in their area.

If you are injured on campus or during a campus activity, Butte College maintains an insurance program to offset some of the costs associated with that injury. Visit the Student Health Clinic for assistance in filling out a claim form. You will then need to be seen by a Blue Cross Preferred Provider (not the Student Health Clinic) to start the claim.

Tips for Buying Health Insurance
Read the entire brochure carefully. Pay special attention to:
- The list of exclusions (what is not covered under the plan).
- When the benefits begin and end.
- Who and where you can be treated. Some insurance policies have a specific "network" of health care providers to whom you can visit. If you go to someone out of the network, you may be responsible for paying a larger portion of the bill.
- What portion of any medical expenses you will be responsible for paying.
- The mandatory health fee students pay each quarter is NOT health insurance.
