To find your medical clinic on your campus website, you may want to use the following search terms:

Please note when using medical services on campus, you must have a health insurance card such as OHIP or UHIP or other provincial health plan with you. Not all services may not be covered by your health care plan, meaning there may be additional costs you may have to pay (Seneca College, 2025; Western University, 2025c).
Reflective activity:
- Try to identify the type of medical services your campus offers and think about the following questions:
- Does your campus have health care providers available to setup an appointment?
- Where can you access sexual health care, contraception, testing, etc.?
- Can you obtain a medical note to excuse your absence due to illness?
- What are the hours of your campus medical services?
