Student Health Services
Student Health Services (located in Lot 8, south of the track and football field) provides services to keep students healthy so they can achieve their academic goals. A variety of skilled clinicians are available to students through our integrated services providing both mental and physical health services. Educational experiences are also provided to support students in developing and maintaining optimal levels of health and quality of life. Watch your e-mail for “Developing a Successful YOU” seminars and Student Health 101 magazine. These are experiences offered to support your success. There is no charge for office visits, however a nominal fee is charged for medication, lab tests, and immunizations. Call (909) 384-4495 for additional information.
A Health and Accident fee is paid at the time of registration and supports the Student Health Services. The amount of this fee is posted in the Class Schedule. In addition to the health fee, International Students attending SBVC on a student visa must purchase international insurance through the Counseling Center which covers repatriation and medical evacuation expenses in addition to medical coverage. They must also provide a negative tuberculin skin test or a chest X-ray.
Students are not charged the health fee if they qualify for one of the following exemptions:
• Apprentices attending college under an approved training program.
• Students attending college classes on high school campuses.
• Students enrolled only in community services classes.
• Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bonafide religious sect, denomination or organization (documentation required).
