We Are Making Improvements and Changes

We heard your feedback, and are making changes to allow quicker, more immediate access to our SHAC medical providers. Additional changes are to come starting Fall term.

We encourage all students to CALL FIRST if you are in need of medical services, rather than walking in. So, if you have a medical concern and wish to be seen call 503-725-2800. We look forward to your feedback about the new changes. For more information about these changes, please click here.


Cancellations

Please Note: If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment with Student Health Services or Counseling and Psychological Services, you are to notify SHAC by the close of the business day prior to your appointment. If you fail to attend your scheduled appointment or fail to cancel according to the SHAC Cancellation Policy, your student account will be assessed a $25 Missed Appointment Fee. Night messaging is acceptable.

Please ask your provider if your medication falls in this category.
