There are important changes to the operations of University Health Services beginning Wednesday, March 11. These changes allow UHS to focus its resources on preparations for and response to COVID-19.

• Medical Services: routine appointments (i.e., primary care follow ups, routine physical exams, annual GYN exams, asymptomatic STD testing, etc.) at University Health Services are suspended effective immediately and until further notice.
• Occupational Health Services:  routine appointments at University Health Services are suspended effective immediately and until further notice.
• Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS): is moving all clinical sessions to a remote, telehealth session, beginning March 16. Students may contact their CPS provider for this option in the meantime.

• All other UHS services will continue operating, with a shift to remote care delivery in some cases where possible. This includes:

  • Athletic Medicine

  • BASICS (Health Promotion & Prevention Services): will be shifting to virtual appointments with telehealth sessions.

  • Laboratory

  • Radiology

  • SHARE: is shifting to virtual appointments with telehealth sessions and telephone consultations, beginning March 16.

Students may consult with UHS by emailing [email protected] during regular working hours of 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and expect a response within 48 hours, for your concerns, such as:

• Managing (non-COVID-19-related) symptoms
• Managing referrals (note: the referral requirement has been lifted for students enrolled in the SHP)
• Managing prescriptions/medications
• Receiving routine medical advice

This service is available to all Princeton students, both remote and on campus.
