How
do I arrange for health services like allergy shots or blood
tests?
The Purdue University Student Health Center (PUSH) offers
many services, including an allergy clinic. The staff will
store your medication and administer the shots if you arrange
this. Contact PUSH at 494-6504 as soon as possible to work
out the details for this or any other routine services you
may need. What if I need medical attention
because of an illness or accident?
PUSH is an accredited healthcare facility. University fees
cover most of the fees for student outpatient care. Go to
one of the clinics or arrange to see a doctor by calling 494-6504.
What if I miss a class because
of illness?
You might ask another student in the class for notes and assignments,
but you will need to contact the professor if you will miss
a test. If you are forced to miss class for an extended period
(more than five days), call the Dean of Students Office at
494-7663.
Where can I have a
prescription filled?
The Pharmacy (RHPH Room 118, 494-1374) offers selected over-the-counter
items as well as prescriptions for sale to students. Major
credit cards, checks, cash, and selected insurance programs
are accepted for payment.
What is the Safe Walk program?
At Purdue, students are encouraged to practice good safety
habits. The Purdue Student Security Patrol, a group of specially selected and trained students who patrol parking garages and other areas of the campus and carry two-way radios to report vandalism or suspicious activities to the police, staffs an escort service, which provides escorts
to walk with students to their residences at night. Contact the
service at 494-SAFE. Where can I get personal or career
counseling?
Personal counseling can be obtained through Counseling
and Psychological Services (CAPS) or the Individual, Couple and Family Therapy Clinic.
CAPS provides individual counseling. The Individual,
Couple and Family Therapy Clinic sees individual students
as well as couples and families. Problems addressed include
anxiety and stress, depression, learning difficulties, relationship
issues with friends, partners, parents and other family members,
eating disorders, communication, violence and abuse, premarital
issues, sexual problems, sleeping problems, trauma recovery,
grief, and work-related difficulties. In addition,
