Student Health and Counseling is located on the 2nd floor of the Whitaker Building, which is the same building as Fire and Police, across from the bus turn around.
There is metered parking in front of the Whitaker Building and 2 parking spaces directly in front for Health & Counseling Clients.
We see students on an appointment basis. Our goal is to meet the medical and counseling needs of the UAF students and work with the student's schedule as much as we can. We are closed on weekends and follow the UAF Holiday closure schedule. There is a list on the Community Resources page for walk-in and after-hours clinics.
Students need to arrive 15 minutes prior to their appointment time. (ex: appt is at 9:00 am, student must arrive at 8:45 am) Bring your Polar Express card for check-in. Students that arrive late for an appointment may need to reschedule.
If you need to reschedule your appointment, please call us at 474-7043.

We DO NOT accept refills over email. Refill requests need to be made 24 hours in advance by the person the refill is for by calling 474-7043. Your name, student id#, medication & number of refills requested is necessary for us to handle your request promptly. Please provide a good call back phone number.
Because we are NOT a "walk-in" Clinic, we designate "Same Day" appointment times for acute care illnesses or acute injuries on our schedule every day. These times open at 8:00 am, in the morning on a first come first serve basis. An acute illness may consist of fever, vomitting or infection. Please be specific about your illness and its severity so we can ensure enough time for you and the medical provider.
You must call at 8:00 am in the morning because these appointments are scheduled on a first come first serve basis. Our last scheduled appointment each day is 4:00 pm. There may be times when all of our same day appointments have been taken, when this happens we do our best to "work-in" students at the discretion of our medical providers. This is not always possible in the same day. The student can choose to use a facility in the community or be scheduled the following day if available.
These links provide students with helpful self care information that can be accessed 24/7.
