HEALTH CENTER

The Student Health Center (SHC) is committed to providing high-quality, low-cost healthcare. Conveniently located on campus in the recently renovated Student Assistance Center, the SHC is staffed with board-certified physicians and other medical personnel. Our diverse team is skilled in working with college-age patients and provides a professional and welcoming environment for students seeking care.

The SHC provides health services to any enrolled Pepperdine student, regardless of insurance type. Available services include a wide range of everyday health needs, including men’s and women’s health, care for illness and injury, immunizations, injections, labs, nutrition, respiratory problems, and dermatology.

The SHC also offers specialized clinics such as vaccination, travel medicine, and STI/HIV testing.

Students can call 310.506.4315, option 3, for more information about available health services or to schedule an appointment.

Please note that although the SHC does not bill insurance directly, the center provides a walkout statement (superbill) to patients and directions regarding how to seek reimbursements from their health insurance plan.

University Health Insurance And Immunization Requirement

Pepperdine University requires that all students, both domestic and international (including those studying abroad), provide proof of a US-based health insurance plan or enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). To meet this requirement, new and returning students must select one of two options on their AHP Insurance Dashboard each academic year: confirm SHIP option by clicking ENROLL button or provide proof of an existing US-based health insurance plan by clicking the WAIVE button. Students must also upload their immunization records in their health portal.
