The COVID test available in the Student Health Center is an antigen (rapid) test. This test is only accurate if you are having symptoms, AND if your symptoms have started within the past 5 days. If you have no symptoms, or if your symptoms have lasted longer than 5 days, the antigen test will not give accurate results, and it is recommended that you have a PCR COVID test done. The Student Health Center can do a PCR test sample; however, the sample will then have to be sent to OSF lab which is not covered under your student health fee. You can also contact Eagle View Community Health System (can apply for a sliding scale to reduce cost) or Walgreens in town to schedule a PCR test. Either option, insurance is billed; however, you may still have to pay a fee out of pocket depending on your coverage.
While appointments are encouraged and are given priority to be seen, we do accept walk-ins as well. To schedule an appointment at the Student Health Center, please call (309)536-6055, or use OSF My Chart to schedule an appointment.
The Student Health Center is located on the main floor of T.H. McMichael Residence Hall, at 316 N. 9th St.
All full-time students registered at Monmouth College are eligible for services. While the Student Health Center offers a variety of services at no cost, certain medical expenses such as prescriptions, x-rays, and any off-campus testing are the student’s responsibility. If the student has medical insurance, we will file any charges not covered by the student health fee with the student’s insurance. For students who have no insurance, please see “RELATED LINKS” in red on this page to find options for financial assistance.
All health services records are confidential in accordance with Illinois law. Student records can only be released to a third party with a student’s written consent (done through the Student Health Center) except under specific circumstances (threat of harm to self or others, court-ordered subpoena, or child or elder abuse). Records will not be a part of the student’s academic record.
The Student Health Center providers are able to prescribe medications, if needed. If a student has been prescribed medication prior to coming to Monmouth College, we encourage them to get enough refills to cover the semester.
If you are concerned about the well-being of a student, contact Campus Safety at (309)457-3456.
