Health & Wellness
Current Students
Health and wellness are important for academic success during college. To assist students in achieving their goals, students and parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the following information:
Roosevelt University does not have a student health center. However, Michigan Avenue Immediate Care (MAIC) is a health facility located near the Chicago Campus at 104 S. Michigan Avenue, Suite 905. MAIC offers walk-in treatment for immediate medical concerns but not life threatening emergencies. MAIC also has diagnostic services such as x-rays and laboratory tests, and offers medical examinations (including appropriate immunizations and prophylactic medications) for those students who might be pursuing overseas travel. The staff includes full time physicians and medical assistants. Appointments are not needed.
Students are responsible for making payment arrangements directly with MAIC. MAIC accepts most major medical plans including Roosevelt’s student health insurance program through Aetna Student Health, as well as cash, Visa and MasterCard. Always remember: for life threatening emergencies, immediately call 911.
Please note that MAIC is an independent entity that is not affiliated with Roosevelt University.

Students living at the residence halls at the Chicago Campus should follow these steps:
- Many health insurance plans provide “nurse on-call” or web-based medical services. Students and parents are encouraged to become familiar with resources provided by their insurance carrier that can provide assistance during an illness.
- Report any serious illness or accidents to a Resident Assistant (RA).
- If you need to go a hospital and you are not so ill as to warrant an ambulance or you do not have a friend to drive you, the RA on duty will call a cab for you. For insurance reasons, residence hall staff is not permitted to drive students to the hospital, but may accompany you in a cab or ambulance upon your request.
- Follow up with your RA as soon as you are feeling better.
Students who have a medical or psychological condition that may require assistance while living on campus should notify their RA and/or the Counseling Center (for psychological conditions only). While confidentiality remains tantamount, it is important that the residence hall staff is aware of personal needs and ways they can assist if a concern or crisis arises.
Pharmacies near the residence halls
There are several pharmacies near the Chicago Campus including Walgreens and CVS. A 24-hour pharmacy is located at the Jewel-Osco grocery store at 1222 S. Wabash (the corner of S. Wabash and Roosevelt Rd.). The pharmacy phone number is
312-663-4646 and fax number is 312-663-6696. Please note that this information is subject to change. It is provided as a convenience and cannot be considered an endorsement of service.
The Counseling Center provides support for students at both campuses. The mission of the Center is to promote the well being of the University community by supporting the development of students’ interpersonal, emotional and academic life skills. The Counseling Center staff provides a variety of services to help students understand their problems and themselves, achieve satisfying relationships, improve their academic performance, and make effective and satisfying career and life choices.

Fitness and recreation centers are available at both campuses. Currently enrolled students can utilize the Licht Student Center in Schaumburg at no additional cost. Residence halls at the Chicago Campus have fitness centers for residents of the building. Additional information is available at www.roosevelt.edu/csi/fitness.htm Wellness programs are offered at both campuses.
Roosevelt University partners with Aetna Student Health as our student health insurance administrator. Aetna Student Health offers comprehensive health insurance coverage to more than 240,000 students on campuses coast to coast to make sure students have access to the best care available.
Participation in the student health insurance plan is required for F1 and J1 international students and students living in university housing at the Chicago Campus. All F1 and J1 international students and all residence hall students are automatically enrolled in the plan unless students can demonstrate they have equivalent coverage and waive the university plan by the advertised deadline. The plan is optional for all other commuter students who are currently enrolled, full- and part-time degree-seeking students. Click here for more information.

Students are required, by Illinois law, to have an immunization record on file if they were born on or after January 1, 1957, and are planning to enroll in six or more credit hours at any time during their attendance at Roosevelt University. This record must contain proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, and diphtheria/tetanus. A second measles immunization with live attenuated virus vaccine is to have been given at least 28 days after the first measles immunization. You must provide these immunization records only once during your enrollment at Roosevelt. Students who do not have immunization records to verify these vaccinations should immediately contact their physician to obtain a copy of their records or have the appropriate immunizations administered.
