Appointment No Show/Late Arrival/Late Cancellation Policy

Appointment No ShowsLate Arrivals and Late Cancellations penalize patients who have to wait for an appointment with one of our clinics. It could even force a patient to seek care outside the Student Health Center costing them more than our services in-house.

We request that you plan to arrive at the Student Health Center at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow enough time to complete the check-in process. 

If you arrive after your scheduled appointment time, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.

**Please take into account the time to travel to our destination which includes traffic and finding a parking space as well as check-in process so as not to risk a late arrival or no show.

Please contact our appointment desk during regular business hours or use the Healthy Coog Patient Portal 24/7 if you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment. We request that you give our office a 24-hour notice in the event you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.
