                 personally at the Appointment Desk or by telephoning
                 893-3371.) Students requiring urgent medical attention
                 during clinic hours should report to the Health Center
                 without an appointment, where they will be seen by a nurse
                 or physician as the condition dictates.

                 After-Hours Care:

                 For injuries requiring prompt physician care, students are
                 instructed to go directly to one of the off-campus
                 community hospitals. Campus paramedics are also available
                 for acute emergencies.

            2.   Dental Clinic:

                 The Dental Clinic operates from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
                 daily except weekends and holidays. (Appointments with the
                 dentist or dental hygienist may be made personally at the
                 dental clinic or by telephoning 893-2891.) Dental
                 emergencies are given preference over routine scheduled
