The Center for Well-Being provides compassionate care, education, and resources to help students. We offer a wide variety of services to support well-being. Please encourage your students to familiarize themselves with the Center for Well-Being services. We know college students and want them to stay healthy and thrive.
Students are responsible for monitoring their enrollment and ensuring their fall schedule is accurate and finalized by September 19, the last day to add or drop a class with a full tuition refund and without a notation on their transcript. Students can consult with an academic counselor via drop-in hours or by contacting academiccounseling@stthomas.edu or 651-962-6300.
Your student's health is always a priority, especially as they begin a new academic year at college. To help with the transition, the Center for Well-Being has gathered some important information about what to have on hand; insurance details to check, items for day-to-day medical needs, and how to access care and well-being services on campus.
