      A full range of services is offered (e.g., health counselling,
      allergy injections, etc.). Physicians are available by
      appointment daily. Nurses may facilitate appointments with
      physicians.

    After hours, weekends and holidays, physicians
are available at the Urgent Care Clinic (745-2273), or by calling
Dr. J. Hicks at 578-8050. For more serious problems, students may
use the Emergency Department at K-W Hospital or St. Mary's
Hospital.

    If students wish to use a physician or dentist who
is off campus, Health Services has a list of those taking new
patients.

    Every student must have medical insurance to
register at WLU. Ontario residents must have an Ontario Health
Card. If the student is from another province, that province's
health insurance is accepted as equivalent.

    Commencing 1994-95, Visa students are not eligible
for Ontario Health Insurance coverage when they arrive in
Ontario. When non-Canadian students arrive in Ontario, they must
register in the University's Business Office and enrol in the
newly established University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)
designed for foreign students. In some cases equivalent coverage
from your respective country may be accepted in lieu of this
coverage. In these cases documents proving coverage must be
approved and supplied. Information regarding this plan may be
acquired at the University's Business Office. (See page 42   Fees
Section.)
