Santa Rosa Junior College

Eligibility & Health Fee

All students enrolled in any credit course in the Sonoma County Junior College District are eligible to access services funded by the Health Fee. Professional visits and select supplies are provided free of charge. Cost of treatment at other medical facilities, however, is the student's financial responsibility. Non-credit students may access community provider services offered (example: Southwest Community Health Center) and are covered by the Student Accident Insurance policy.

Student Health Services is funded by a Health Fee charged to students enrolling in credit courses during registration. This fee is $16 for the fall and spring semester and $13 for the summer session (effective spring 2008).

The District currently allows waivers for students currently enrolled in Study Abroad programs, incarcerated students, students in qualified apprenticeship programs, and students that rely exclusively upon prayer for healing (form available in Admissions and Records).

Patient Rights and Responsibilities

Student Health Services recognizes that all patients are individuals with unique health care needs. Care should be focused upon the patient's individual needs, and provided in a manner that is considerate and respectful of each patient's personal dignity. It is in recognition of these factors that Santa Rosa Junior College Student Health Service’s department affirms certain rights and responsibilities for its patients.

Scope of Service

Student Health Services is established at Santa Rosa Junior College as legislated by Education Code 76322, and via Title 5 regulations that broadly outline services that may be provided, based on a public health model. The focus of services is on control of communicable diseases, short term clinical care for illnesses and injuries, and short term therapy and crisis intervention for mental health issues. Clinical care for chronic, long term conditions is not within the scope of direct services, though screening, health education, and counseling support and referrals to community service resources are provided.
