On-Campus Resources

Student Care Center (SCC)

The Student Care Center is located in Suite R-100 of the main hospital at 5841 S. Maryland Avenue. Summer hours at the SCC will run 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.  Urgent care will be open on Saturdays from 8 am to 11 am. on a walk-in basis through the Primary Care Group located in the DCAM, suite 3C.

To make an appointment at the Student Care Center, call 773-702-4156. If you need emergency medical advice after SCC business hours, contact the 24/7 nurseline, provided to all students through United HealthCare, at 773-702-1915 (the former SCC Nurse number). The Nurseline can provide time-saving advice and assistance and help you to determine if you need immediate medical treatment.

For other SCC services and phone numbers, please visit SCC's website at http://scc.uchicago.edu.

Student Counseling and Resource Service (SCRS)

The Student Counseling and Resource Service is located at 5737 S. University Avenue, and is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. For an evaluation, outside referral, or assignment to a therapist, call 702-9800 to schedule an appointment. Ordinarily, students are scheduled for an intake evaluation within a few days. For study skills consultation and evaluation, call 702-9800. Emergency cases are handled immediately. There is no need to make an appointment in a crisis, though it is helpful to call first if possible.

An SCRS Staff member is on call every week night and throughout the weekend for emergency consultation and evaluation. The SCRS Staff Member-on-call can be reached by calling the University Telepage (702-3625) and asking to speak to the SCRS Staff Member-on-call. All aspects of care through this service (including the fact that there has been a visit) are confidential, and information will not be released to anyone without the specific written consent of the student. The number of sessions is determined on an individual basis.

DCAM Pharmacy

A special pharmacy arrangement with the University of Chicago Medical Center's DCAM pharmacy enables students enrolled in the University Student Health Insurance Plan (U-SHIP) who take chronic medicines to receive 3 months of prescription for the price of two months co-pay. This discount also applies to birth control. Available only at the University's DCAM pharmacy. The pharmacy is located in the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine (DCAM) on the first floor near the gift shop. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. The phone number is (773) 834-7002.
