Letter from the Chief Health Officer 6/1/20

Our campus communities have endured difficulties over the past months. Struggling with the impact of Covid-19, the sudden disruptions, and civil unrest. Helping our community heal goes to the core of who we are, what we believe, and how we serve. Student Health is united as a community that cares, and we will provide care to students who need our help. We are extending one-time service eligibility to students (including recent May 2020 graduates) for urgent counseling or Covid-19 related care to help relieve the extraordinary stress of this moment in time. Provider care (medical and mental health) is available by TeleHealth to all USC students residing in California; workshops and “Let’s Talk” drop-ins are available to students regardless of current location.

Services Update

As of June 1, 2020, USC students who are out of eligibility (not enrolled in services through the Summer Health Fee) but whom were eligible in Spring 2020 may be seen for one visit for the following urgent circumstances: urgent mental health appointment, or testing and treatment for Covid-19 related exposures and symptoms. This service extension applies through June 30, 2020 and includes recent class of 2020 graduates. Call 213-740-9355 (WELL) for appointments.

June 1 week early closure

Due to county-wide curfew, the Engemann Center has an early building closures at 4 p.m. this week. Please call 213-740-9355 for care services or rescheduling. TeleHealth services continue as regularly scheduled.

Summer Operations

Student Health services will continue to be in operation for all our services, including all the TeleHealth care that has recently been launched — primary care, injury/illness care, mental health services, and continuing public health monitoring, prevention, and care for COVID-19 patients. For continuing students and recent graduates, USC Student Health (Counseling and Mental Health Services, Medical Services) can continue to be your provider from May 23 through August 14, 2020; sign up for summer coverage by contacting studenthealth@usc.edu.
