The Student Care Network is a holistic network of services and resources pertaining to health and wellness available to Vanderbilt University students who are charged the Student Health Fee. Primary offices include Student Care Coordination (SCC), the University Counseling Center (UCC), the Student Health Center (SHC), and the Center for Student Wellbeing (CSW). Students also have access to a wide range of additional on-campus, virtual, and community resources through the Student Care Network—from the David Williams II Recreation and Wellness Center to the Project Safe Center—and a variety of community providers. To facilitate finding resources, students may refer to the Student Care Network website, or meet with SCC. SCC helps students explore and progressively connect with resources to best address their individual needs.
Students who pay the Student Health Fee and are active students are eligible for services from the Student Care Network. These services are available throughout the year. During peak periods (start of fall and spring semester and exam times) as well as for specialized services (ADHD assessment, alcohol and other drug assessment, etc.), students may experience a wait. During summer months, times between appointments may be extended.
Students located physically in the state of Tennessee may use UCC for therapy and psychiatry and SHC for primary care. Students outside of Tennessee may be referred to local or telehealth resources. Students, regardless of location, may utilize the services of SCC and CSW.
Active students are considered students enrolled in the preceding semester who have not indicated anything to suggest they will not enroll in the upcoming semester. The Student Care Network reserves the right to determine time, place, and location of services.
