Manage Appointments with MyChart
If you have previously visited PLU Health Services, you can easily request an appointment by logging into your MyChart account and going to the Visits tab. From there you can schedule, cancel, and view upcoming appointments with Health Services 24/7.
Attendance Policy
Health Services will assess a fine for students who no-show for appointments or cancel a scheduled appointment less than 24 hours in advance. Students receive a warning for their first infraction for each academic year and are charged $50 (effective August 1, 2023) for each subsequent infraction. Infractions are counted separately for Health Services and Counseling Services.
If for any reason you are unable to attend or must change the time of your appointment:
- If the appointment is within 24 hours, please call Health Services directly,
- If at a later date, use MyChart to manage your appointments. If you cannot access MyChart, you may call Health Services at 253-535-7337 during normal business hours.
PLU Health Services requires that all changes to appointment times be made at least 24-hours in advance.
Psychiatric Services Policy
Due to the limited availability of psychiatric resources and an ongoing waiting list, students will be charged a $50 No Show Fee for any missed appointment with the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner as psychiatry appointments are in high demand. Warnings are not given. No-Show Fees are charged to the student’s account. The intent of this policy change is to prevent appointments from going unused due to students not showing up.
