Health Services

Student Health Service provides basic health care to the student community within the limits of its professional, technical and physical resources, or at the discretion of the College nurse. Included are acute care for illness and emergencies, health and wellness promotion and opportunities to participate actively in your own health care.

For emergencies, care is provided through the emergency service of Ripon Medical Center. Physician services are available in the community on a fee-for-service basis.

All student health service records are confidential and protected under the laws of "privileged communication.''

Counseling Services

On-campus counseling services are available to Ripon College students at no charge. These services include individual and group counseling, referral and workshops.

Individual and group counseling may help students gain a better understanding of their concerns and may assist them in learning to cope more effectively.

Referrals to on-campus and off-campus resources will be made for special needs and services. Fees for off-campus services will be the responsibility of the student.

Informational programs about topics such as stress management, relationships, eating disorders and self-esteem may be arranged for campus organizations and residence hall groups. These programs may be scheduled during the day or in the evening.
