Student Health Services


To function well in a college setting, a student must be physically and mentally healthy.  Good health, defined as physical, social, and emotional well-being is a factor influencing the academic success of any student.  To ensure the good health of our students, the NJIT Health Service provides primary health care to all enrolled students who have submitted a completed medical examination form and paid the Health Service fee.

Health Services is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.MDuring the summer session, hours are 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. The office is located on the first floor of Estelle and Zoom Fleisher Athletic Center.  

The physician and registered nurse are available during the above hours, and appointments are highly recommended. Walk-ins will be seen based on the nature of the illness, and as time permits. Services provided are as follows:
