The Student Health Center works to meet your health care needs on campus. There are a few ways to book an appointment at the Student Health Center, and we included a how-to guide below to help you set up your first appointment!

The center provides non-emergent, outpatient medical care by appointment only for all currently enrolled Knoxville campus-based students who pay any portion of the student programs and services fee

Student Health Center clinics are divided into primary clinical service areas and specialty service areas, including telemedicine. A full listing of the clinics, services, and important patient health and scheduling information is located on the Student Health Center website.

Booking an Appointment

To schedule a same-day or future appointment, you must contact a Student Heath Center Triage Nurse at 865-974-5080.

Registered nurses serve as the center’s triage nurses and provide direct contact for patients seeking medical advice, same-day appointments, or future appointments. Appointments are available for scheduling between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Each day there are a limited number of same-day appointments available. Same-day appointments may only be scheduled by speaking with a triage nurse. Approximately sixty percent of all daily appointments are available for same-day scheduling with the remainder of daily appointments available for scheduling on an alternate future date.

We encourage you to call the triage nurse line early to secure a same-day appointment. When no further appointments are available for same-day scheduling, the center’s staff will assist you in securing an appointment for a future date or direct you to other local health care resources if needed. Triage nurses may also book online telemedicine appointments when clinically appropriate.
