Making an Appointment

Call Student Health (703-993-2831) during open hours. Based on your health care need, staff will schedule your appointment as appropriate. We often have same-day appointments available for acute needs. Telehealth appointments and in-person appointments are available.

To schedule an appointment for required immunizations (vaccinations), call the Immunization Office (703-993-2135). Visit Immunization Appointments for scheduling details and more information.

Appointment Basics

Have your Mason ID or photo ID available.

Before your appointment, log into the online Patient Portal & complete required forms. 15 minutes before your appointment time, log-in to complete check-in. For in-person appointments, check in once you arrive.

Have a list of your current medications.

Your healthcare provider will ask you about your personal and family medical history and if you have any allergies. Not sure? Check with your parent/guardian before your appointment.

If you are 10 minutes late for your appointment, it may need to be rescheduled. Read the No-Show fee page for details about missed appointments.

If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian will need to give written permission (consent) for medical care.
