STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES W. Lloyd Wright Student Wellness Center Services Mabel Coulter Student Health Center The Coulter Student Health Center provides health care to current Mines students. Care is provided by a certified team of nurses and nurse practitioners. A physician has office hours on campus during the fall and spring semesters. Health services include evaluation and treatment of illness and injuries, travel advice, well women exams and contraceptive counseling. Students paying the health services fee are eligible to be seen in the Health Center and this fee covers most services.
New Student Immunization Requirements All incoming students are required to upload documented proof of specific vaccinations or laboratory evidence of immunity. These requirements are submitted through Trailhead, using the Health Portal icon on the main page. Detailed information on entering this required information is available at mines.edu/student-health/student-healthcenter/forms. • Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine: Colorado law requires every student to submit proof of 2 valid vaccinations for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) given no earlier than 4 days before the student’s first birthday. There must be at least 28 calendar days between the two vaccinations.

• Meningococcal (ACWY) Vaccine: Colorado law requires all students living on campus in student housing to submit proof of a Meningitis ACWY vaccine given within the last 5 years, OR to sign the Meningococcal waiver form. If the 5-year period will expire while the student is living on campus, we recommend receiving another Meningococcal ACWY. Students will have a hold placed on their account 5 years after the date of the most recent Meningitis ACWY vaccine. Currently, Meningitis ACWY is required, Meningitis B is recommended. • Tuberculosis: Completion of the Tuberculosis questionnaire (Forms tab of the Health Portal) is required. In some cases, TB testing may also be indicated. • Consent to Treat Minor: (if under age 18 as of first day of class).
Dental Clinic Students paying the Health Center fee are eligible for treatment at the Mines Dental Clinic on the second floor of the Student Wellness Center. Services include emergency treatment, comprehensive exams and X-rays, cleanings, fillings, cosmetic procedures, retainers and night guards. Services are charged at 50–80% LESS than customary dental fees. Our emphasis is on improving our student patient’s oral health literacy to help ensure a lifetime of oral and systemic health. Information is available for students wishing to be reimbursed by outside insurance.
