The college encourages students who do not have health
insurance through a group plan (parents, spouse, employer
sponsored, etc.) to consider obtaining individual health
insurance coverage.
Student health insurance coverage is especially important
for Nursing and Health Professions students in clinical
settings, since the clinical site customarily requires
health insurance.

health insurance plan, the College encourages your review

Tidewater Community College does not offer any legal advice
regarding health insurance.
Advise your instructors when you first attend
classes if you have any health problems that may affect your
attendance, learning, or personal safety. Notify the Dean
for Student Services if you have health problems that may
create difficulties outside the classroom. If you have chronic
health problems or disabilities, seek help from Disabilities
Services.
Tidewater Community College does not provide health services,
emergency or otherwise. In case of emergency call 911 or ask
the campus switchboard operator to call 911.
Each semester there are wellness related events such as Alcohol
Awareness Week, stress reduction workshops, blood drives,
and fitness events. Bowling, ice skating, and rock climbing
are a sampling of the active events you can participate in
to keep your body fit and lean.
