Our priority in Health Services is to keep all students, faculty and staff safe and healthy while on Belmont’s campus and in the surrounding Nashville community.
Health Services follows the recommendations from the CDC and the Tennessee Department of Health regarding vaccine administration for college students. The State of Tennessee requires all students attending college to be vaccinated against harmful diseases as college campuses are unique spaces for widespread disease transmission. If you have a medical or religious request to be exempt from certain vaccinations, please call 615.460.5506 and a nurse will explain this process.
Please visit the CDC and the Tennessee State Department of Health for more information on immunization requirements and recommendations.
All students are required to upload proof of medical insurance through their health portal. See additional information on Fees and Insurance. Although we do not bill through insurance in our clinic, we often make referrals to specialty clinics that require medical insurance.
Please review our ‘Student Consent for Treatment and Privacy Practices’ in its entirety and sign electronically through your health portal.
This document explains our services and your rights as a patient in our clinic. If you are under the age of 18, you must have a parent or guardian co-sign. We require this to be signed before your first visit to the clinic.
