There are two components of your overall healthcare while attending Princeton University.  

University Health Services (UHS)

the University's on-campus health facility

  • The first component is the healthcare provided by UHS for on-campus needs, regardless of any pre-existing conditions you may have.  
  • If there is an ongoing medical condition then UHS will work with you directly in coordinating care with an off-campus provider in the local Princeton area to ensure you are getting the specialized care you need.  
  • We recommend you schedule an appointment with UHS to coordinate any care needed for your medical condition.  
  • For contact information and services provided at UHS, please visit University Health Services.

Your Health Insurance Plan

  • The second component is your health insurance through the Student Health Plan (SHP) or your private health plan (PHP).
  • Your insurance would cover off-campus treatment and services with physicians and specialists not available on-campus at University Health Services.  
  • Regardless of your health insurance plan (SHP or PHP), you may utilize University Health Services, as long as you are an actively enrolled student.
