Protect yourself and others by getting your flu shot this year! UIS Health Services and the Sangamon County Department of Public Health are offering flu shots to the UIS community from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20, located on the first floor of the Public Affairs Center (PAC) in meeting rooms C and D.
These pages provide the text of the statutes which require children to be vaccinated. It also includes the regulations made by the Department of Public Health pursuant to the Illinois General Assembly delegating the authority to make rules. In short, the laws require all students to present proof of immunization to their schools.
Health Services does not provide medical excuses for missed classes, exams, assignments, or work on/off campus. The decision for our policy is based on our limited resources, which are better dedicated to providing health care; the inability for us to make valid determinations about illnesses or injuries students may have managed through self care at home; and our commitment to student privacy.
The UIS Student Insurance Plan is an affordable, high-quality insurance program, designed to meet the needs of our students, with optional coverage available for dependents. The insurance carrier for 2025-2026 is UnitedHealthcare Student Resources (UHCSR). The UHCSR website can be used to find information about benefits, providers, prescriptions, and more!
Bethany holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and is licensed as a clinical psychologist.

All charges will be placed onto student accounts. It is the students’ responsibility to submit any receipts to their insurance provider. The receipts and other necessary forms can be found on the Health Services Patient Portal.
