Student Health Services

Policy Statement

NCC does not provide health services for its students, but rather encourages all students to maintain valid health insurance to provide support in case of medical emergencies. NCC maintains that this is especially important for students in healthcare-oriented programs due to the increased risk of exposure to infectious diseases found in clinical settings.

Emergency

Any life-threatening emergency should be immediately reported by students or employees to local authorities by dialing 911. After activating the emergency response team, the student or employee reporting the emergency should then notify the first available Campus Security Officer or Front Office representative so that they can provide notice to the staff and affected faculty (if not already informed). If a criminal offense precipitated the life-threatening emergency, NCC will also issue a timely warning report and record the offense in the log of all criminal activity.

For additional details regarding specific actions that NCC will take during an emergency, please refer to the Emergency Response Grid posted at the entrance to every room and office on campus. The Emergency Response Grid can also be found in the Annual Security Report.

Non-Emergency

Students requiring non-emergency medical care are encouraged to contact their primary care physician or an urgent care facility for additional guidance and support.
