Medical Appointments

We offer virtual and in-person appointments, depending on your needs.

Most medical appointments can be scheduled through the SHC Portal.

Log in to the SHC Portal
Click "Appointments"

If the medical appointment type you need is not available in the SHC Portal, or you need assistance scheduling an appointment, please call (212) 443-1000.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

Have your NYU ID and your health insurance card available for every appointment.
Make a list of all symptoms and concerns, allergies and medications prior to your appointment.
Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything that is unclear or important to you.
If you're having a virtual appointment, find a quiet space where you and your provider can communicate without background noise or distractions.

Please do not visit the SHC in-person without an appointment. If you need assistance, please call (212) 443-1000.

Masks are still required at the Student Health Center.

Appointment Types

If you're not sure which appointment type is right for you, call the SHC at (212) 443-1000 and we will guide you to the most appropriate service.

Looking for a sick note?

As of August 2021, faculty may not require students to provide documentation to excuse class absences due to medical or mental health-related reasons. SHC will not provide a sick note. Please do not schedule an appointment to request one.

Virtual Appointments

Virtual appointments are a convenient way to meet with a medical provider to diagnose and treat certain conditions. Appointments are available with Primary Care or GYN Health providers.

Available Monday-Friday, 9am-7pm
Virtual appointments take place on Zoom
Due to state licensing requirements, you must be physically located in New York State at the time of your appointment.

Virtual appointments are appropriate for:

Cold, flu, and COVID-19 symptoms
Fever, cough, or shortness of breath
Irregular menstrual periods
Nutrition counseling
Routine STI and HIV screening (if you don't have symptoms)

If you're experiencing mpox symptoms, log in to the SHC Portal and click Appointments to request a nurse callback. Your nurse will advise you on testing and next steps.

For certain conditions, your provider may meet with you in a virtual appointment to learn about your symptoms, and refer you for lab work or diagnostic tests to help diagnose and treat your condition.
