The health program is coordinated by the Director of Health Services who can provide information about the program. All students are required to have a medical record that includes immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) on file in the Health Services Center. Students are asked to have these forms turned in on the day of clearance or before registration.
There are limited health services on campus. Students requiring health services should contact the Health Services Center:
Mrs. Johnell Rogers, LPN
Director of Health Services
Mable K. Howard Building
803‐934‐3256
The hours of operation for the Health Services Center are: Monday – Friday: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Illnesses occurring after the Health Services Center has closed or on weekends and holidays should be reported to the Residence Hall Director or the Assistant Residence Hall Director on duty, and at their discretion, the Director of Health Services may be called.
Parents will be notified immediately if a student receives a serious injury, is admitted to the hospital, or is confined to the residence hall for more than two days because of illness.
Morris College Student Health Insurance Plan
Effective August 2014, Morris College implemented a new health insurance plan for students that comply with all requirements of the Affordable Care Act. To handle student health care needs,

b) Colonial Family Practice can provide most health care needs as outlined in the Morris College Student Health Insurance Plan. They have a staff of doctors, nurses, other healthcare professionals, and a pharmacy and urgent care services, on site.
c) All eligible Morris College students will have a health insurance card to use to obtain services.
d) The current Morris College Student Health Insurance Plan can be used at other medical facilities; however, it is recommended that you use providers in the network.
