Employee Flu Shots
University Health Services coordinates the employee flu shot program offered in the fall semester. UW employees are notified by email when the clinics have been scheduled at locations around campus.
Excuse Policy
University Health Services does not provide excuses for short-term absences from class or missed deadlines due to acute illness or mental health appointment. This long-standing policy helps us direct our finite resources toward patient care and reflects our respect for students’ privacy.
Occupational Medicine
Occupational Medicine provides medical response plans and specific clinical services for UW–Madison employees, students in designated courses, and affiliates based on eligibility. Services include specific pre- and post-exposures, immunizations, clinical laboratory tests, regulatory reviews and medical clearances; help employees find providers for routine workplace services not offered at UHS: urgent and emergency care, musculoskeletal injuries, fitness for duty.
Helping You Help Students
Mental Health Services
Mental Health Services provides consultative services on a wide range of issues for academic departments and non-academic divisions across campus.
Suicide Prevention
As a member of the UW campus community, you play a part in preventing suicide and promoting the mental health of students. All of our faculty, staff, and TAs have the ability to create a healthy campus climate where students can live and learn successfully.
Healthy Academics Toolkit
This UW-Madison Healthy Academics Toolkit is a data-driven tool to support a shift in policies, practices, and pedagogies in academic contexts across campus, including classrooms, research labs, and advising offices. It offers an interactive data visualization that allows instructors and advisors to understand the unique needs of the student populations whom they serve, which is in turn linked to specific strategies and resources that can be implemented to proactively support the health and well-being of both undergraduate and graduate students.
