Eligibility

Students enrolled at Clemson University, University employees injured on the job and legal spouses of Clemson students are eligible for treatment at Redfern Health Center.

Eligibility for Students/Spouses Not Currently Enrolled

1. Following their graduation, eligibility ends for graduates and their spouses who have not purchased the student health insurance plan. However, a grace period of up to 30 days is available to allow for the transfer of care. Graduates and their spouses who purchased the University Student Health Insurance are eligible to use the services up to the end of their insurance benefit eligibility on a non-fee-paid status. This includes students who purchase the three-month continuation coverage of the student health insurance plan.

2. When a student withdraws from the University, eligibility for services for student and spouse ends. However, a grace period of up to 30 days is available to allow for transfer of care. During this 30-day period, the student and spouse will maintain pre-withdrawal status of non-fee-paid or fee-paid if the student’s health fee was not refunded by the university. If the student drops/withdrawals on or before the last day to add a class for the term (indicated on the Academic calendar), then all their tuition health fees are reversed. If the student drops/withdrawals after the last day to add a class, the health fee will remain on the student bill and is not refunded. Exception: Withdrawn students and their spouses who purchased the University Student Health Insurance are eligible to use the medical services up to the end of their insurance benefit eligibility. The student/spouse may be referred to an outside psychologist/psychiatrist if the needs of the patient exceed the capacity of CAPS to provide the needed services.

3. Students and their spouses who begin their coverage of the student health plan in early August and May prior to the start of the semester eligibility may receive services on a non-fee-paid basis until the semester eligibility begins.

4. Students not currently enrolled, and their spouses, are not eligible to use the services during the regular academic year (Fall/Spring semesters), except as defined above by items 1, 2 and 3. Students in co-op programs or internships for University credit are considered enrolled students and may receive services on either a fee-paid or non-fee-paid basis.

5. Continuing students who are not enrolled in summer school are eligible to use the services during the summer semester. They may elect to add the summer health fee by having the fee added to the Redfern Health Center bill (Refer to ADM-69 Elective Health Fee). Students who graduate in the spring but are accepted for the upcoming fall are eligible to receive services as a continuing student, and may also elect to add the summer health fee.

6. Bridge students who are transitioning from their Bridge year at Tri-County Technical College to Clemson University are considered a continuing student during the summer semester and may elect to have the health fee added to their Redfern Health Center bill.

7. To verify enrollment, campus systems (iRoar) may be checked.
