Emergency, After-Hours and Weekend Care Options

Nurse Advice Line 904-620-2900

  • Students have access to a nurse triage phone line when the clinic is closed, where medical concerns related to illness or injury can be discussed.
  • Please be aware that the after-hours nurses do not have access to the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic appointment schedule or your health records.
  • If you need to cancel/schedule an appointment, get lab results, or change/refill a prescription, we ask that you call while the clinic is open (Monday-Friday 8am-5pm) to speak to a member of our Student Health Services staff. 
  • If you need to speak to a nurse for medical guidance while the clinic is closed, please call (904) 620-2900 and follow the prompts.

Non-emergency After-Hours Care

If you have an emergency, please call 911 and immediately report your problem.
