Student health services and insurance coverage
Students are responsible for all health care costs incurred while participating in activities required in the nursing program. Students are strongly encouraged to be enrolled in a health insurance program. Health service is available to all Mizzou students through special clinics and programs at the Student Health Center. Students are offered the opportunity to enroll in a separate hospitalization and emergency care insurance and an outpatient voluntary health plan. Students who are injured while performing any activity for the University for which academic credit is received are not eligible for worker’s compensation benefits.
Free counseling for personal or academic related concerns is available at Parker Hall.

Nursing student lounge and locker room
The nursing student lounge is located on the third floor of the nursing building. The lounge is primarily for undergraduate and graduate nursing students. The lounge contains a small kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, and vending machines. Students are responsible for the daily maintenance of the kitchen.
A locker room for clinical nursing students is located at the northeast corner of the student lounge. Students are assigned lockers with combination locks during the first week of the first clinical nursing course (N3270).
Student mail
File cabinets containing folders for nursing students are located in the student mail room, S307. Faculty, Associate Dean, and academic advisors communicate with students by placing notices in the individual student folders. Students should check their folders regularly.
Bulletin boards
Large bulletin boards are located in the student lounge. Students may use the bulletin board on the north wall for posting announcements. Information about scholarships, awards, loans and Sigma Theta Tau is located on this bulletin board. The office of the Associate Dean posts notices of employment and educational opportunities on the south wall. The posted notices have a ten-day tenure. The Nursing Student Council, the Student Nurses Association and Nurses Christian Fellowship each have areas of the student bulletin board set aside for posting notices of meetings and other activities.
Some individual clinical nursing courses also have assigned bulletin boards. Students are notified of their location on the first day of class for each course.
A bulletin board for nursing students is located near the west front lobby. Official notices for clinical majors from the academic advisors' offices are posted on the bulletin board above the student mail folders in the student lounge.
University regulations state that no signs or posters may be taped or stapled to walls and doors except in designated areas.

MU Parking and Transportation Services has information on bicycle regulations as well as other helpful information.
