Emergencies and After Hours

Call 911.  Emergency and after hour care are available through local physicians, clinics and hospitals.  Students with severe injuries or life-threatening situations should go directly to the hospital or an emergency center for treatment. We are not an emergency center and do not provide assessments for worker's compensation cases.

The center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday when school is in session and is closed during intercession, weekends, and WTAMU holidays.  During the semester break, the front desk will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for administrative purposes.

Required Immunizations

Texas law requires all students entering an institution of higher education (public and private) to either receive a vaccination against bacterial meningitis or meet certain criteria for declining such a vaccination. This law also requires that the meningitis vaccination occurs within a five-year period before the student arrives at school. This applies to all new incoming students, under the age of 22, regardless of living on or off-campus or any student, that sits out a long semester. 

The meningitis vaccine is offered at Student Medical Services during New Student Orientations and Transfer Student Orientations to new and returning students.
