The Center is staffed by a psychiatrist, psychologist, counselors, social workers and graduate students, and the services rendered to students are free, voluntary, and confidential.

Immunization Form. Before utilizing the services at UHC, all students must submit an Immunization Form to JMU as a condition of admission to the university, as you learned via your One Book and Summer Springboard Orientation. This information is needed to satisfy Virginia law, university requirements, and to assist in your care. The deadline to submit was July 29. If your Immunization Form and verification was not completed and turned in by the deadline, you will be subject to a non-refundable late fee and a enrollment hold will be placed on your account. This hold impacts your ability to adjust your class schedule.
