The function of Health Services is to protect and improve the physical
  and mental health of the students and of the university community. Its
  responsibilities are to provide consultation, treatment, and advice
  on matters of health, and to ascertain the fitness of students to
  perform academic work. When the necessary service cannot be provided,
  appropriate referrals are made. Confidentiality is respected at all
  times.

  Health Services is staffed by general physicians, psychiatrists,
  nurses, a health educator and a social worker. The clinic is located
  on level six of the Unicenter. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00
  A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Evening clinics are also available during the academic
  year. Appointments may be made by calling 788-6674.

  Students who become seriously ill when the clinic is closed should go
  to the nearest hospital emergency. For problems of a less serious
  nature a doctor is on-call after hours and can be reached by phone
  through the clinic.

  The health educator offers on-going educational programs on sexuality,
  alcohol awareness, smoking cessation, eating disorders, etc. For
  further information contact the clinic.

  Health Regulations

  Medical insurance is compulsory for all full-time students. It is the
  student's responsibility to provide the insurance number when
  receiving medical care.

  All Ontario residents should obtain a health number. Students whose
  home residence is outside Ontario should have coverage under their own
  provincial plan. All provincial plans are recognized by Health
  Services. Students from outside Canada should contact the Ministry of
  Health office directly at 75 Albert Street, Ottawa, 783-4400. Students
  are automatically covered by an extended health care plan which covers
  a portion of other medical expenses (drugs, etc.) Questions concerning
  reimbursements should be directed to Carleton University Students'
  Association on the fourth level of the Unicenter.

  Immunization Record

  It is recommended that students personally insure adequate immune
  status. This means documented evidence of appropriate vaccines. If
  status is uncertain vaccination is recommended. This includes German
  measles, red measles, mumps, tetanus, polio and others when
  appro-priate.
