HEALTH SERVICES
Health Services Office | 1st Floor, Olive Swann Porter Building healthservices@wesleyancollege.edu
Health Services provides expert, patient-centered, and inclusive care for the entire Wesleyan community. Our Board Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner can provide the following services on-campus at little to no cost:
• Minor Injury Treatment • Physical Exams • Treatment for Common Illnesses • Personal Health Education • Flu Shots • Women’s Health (including annual gynecological visit, birth control, and STI screenings) • Allergy Injections • Prescription Maintenance • Nutrition Counseling • Referral to Specialist for Additional Services, if needed
All students submit our official health forms to document all required health information to meet matriculation requirements. Health forms include an Immunization Form (vaccinations and tuberculosis test), Physical Examination Form, Meningitis Verification or Waiver Form, and Health History Form. To upload your health forms, login to WesPortal (wesportal.wesleyancollege.edu), click “Student” on the top menu bar, click “Health Record & Forms” on the left menu bar, and proceed to upload and submit the forms, making sure not to click to submit before all forms have completely attached. Students who do not submit the health forms as required will have a hold placed on their student account. This is a one-time requirement due before classes begin.
All full time undergraduate domestic students taking at least 12 credit hours in the day program (i.e. non-online only) are required to complete the online health insurance waiver or enrollment form each summer by August 1st through Wesleyan’s provider, Gallagher Student Health; however, all international students are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan for each academic term. All students are automatically billed for the insurance; however, the cost will be credited within a few business days of an online waiver approval. Without an approved online insurance waiver form by the class drop/add date, the student will be administratively enrolled in the Wesleyan’s student health insurance plan, and the cost is thereafter nonrefundable. To complete the online insurance waiver or enrollment form, go to www.gallagherstudent.com/wesleyancollege. If you plan to waive, your current insurance must be fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act and provide access to doctors in the Macon area. Please note, you will need to have your health insurance ID card available.
