FALL WAIVER STATUS: OPEN AUGUST 4 - OCTOBER 11, 2026

Students are required to do one waiver per academic year if they have their own private insurance (including VA and OHP). An academic year starts each Fall term and ends after Summer session is complete. All students who attend PSU in Fall 2026 will need to do one new waiver for the 2026-27 academic year.

Access the Waiver

Please note that the waiver system updates every weekday morning so if you just registered for 5 or more credits you may need to wait an additional business day to access the waiver.

Dental Services Update

Beginning in Fall Term 2025 (September 29) Dental Services will be open on Mondays: 8am-5pm (closed 12-1pm)

Mental Health Screening Tool

The CCAPS-Screen is a completely anonymous and confidential online mental health screening instrument that assesses the most common mental health concerns experienced by students. It is a user-friendly tool that can help students decide when further mental health evaluation or support may be recommended.

The Center for Student Health and Counseling unequivocally supports the right of all individuals to determine and control the outcomes of their reproductive lives and believes that transgender healthcare is a human right and should be accessible to trans and gender diverse youth and adults. SHAC will continue to advocate for student’s reproductive healthcare rights and increased accessibility to gender affirming care.
