CCW Service Changes for Summer Semester
Starting May 5th, the Center for Campus Wellness will enter its strategic planning phase for the upcoming Academic Year. During this time, several services and programs will undergo stoppages, reduced drop-in availability, and/or shift toward appointment-only offerings.
CCW Service Changes
The following table highlights programs experiencing pauses or schedule changes during the 2025 Summer Semester:
| Program | Type of Change | Service Change Description |
|---|---|---|
| Drop-in Trainings on Overdose Prevention with Naloxone | Reduced availability, time change, date change |
The Center for Campus Wellness is proud to offer one-on-one overdose prevention training, complete with free Naloxone kits. To accommodate for programmatic planning this summer, dates and timeframes for drop-in trainings are shifting for this service. During Summer '25, students can drop-in on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays between 8:30am to 12:30pm, students can drop-in and receive a 10-minute training from a member of our health education team. |
| Drop-in Sexual Testing Services | Service stoppage |
During the Spring & Fall semesters, students can drop-in for Free HIV & STI testing services on select dates. This program will not be available during the summer, so we encourage students to review this guide to other on-campus and local providers offering low and no-cost testing services until our program resumes in the Fall. |
| Drop-in Peer Well-being Navigation Sessions | Reduced availability, time change, date change, shifting virtual during renovations, appointment-only* |
College life can be overwhelming—but you don't have to figure it all out on your own! At drop-in sessions with our Peer Well-being Navigators, you can connect with fellow students who are here to help you answer questions, get support, learn about resources, or just chat! May 12th to June 16th, drop-ins are welcome from Mondays 10am - 12pm. *Starting June 16th to August 1st, the Student Services Building will undergo renovations and this service will transition from in-person and virtual support to only virtual sessions. During this time, students can request a virtual session with a Navigator by booking an appointment on Medicat. |
| Safer Sex Supplies & The Pleasure Pack Delivery Service | Shift to drop-in basis, service stoppage during renovations |
We believe that all students (and individuals!) should have easy access to barrier methods, as well as sexual and reproductive health information, so they can make informed choices in their relationships. The Pleasure Pack Deliver SErvices (PPDS) offers safer sex supplies including condoms, oral dams, pregnancy tests, and emergency contraception as part of a larger campus commitment to health and wellness. This program will experience a stoppage from mid-June to August 1st while the Student Services building undergoes construction to replace the HVAC system. Please review the following dates to see how supply access will be impacted during this time:

| Student and Staff Wellness Coaching | Appointment-only, shifting virtual during renovations |
Wellness coaches can help with any area of wellbeing. If there is something related to health or wellbeing that is affecting your ability to live your life as you want, a wellness coach can help you to work through obstacles and help in the goal setting process.

Purpose
Regular testing is an important aspect of physical wellness. We believe that all students (and individuals!) should have easy access to sexual and reproductive health information so that they can make informed choices in their relationships.
Our confidential and testing services offer students education about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), a place to check in with their body, and connect with resources and treatment as needed.
The most common symptom of an infection is actually no symptom at all, as many STIs are asymptomatic. When left untreated, some infections may result in health complications and chronic diseases, so it's important to get tested regularly.
Our recommendation is that people who have sex get tested either:
- every 3-6 months,
- before having sex with a new partner,
- or after unprotected sex.
Testing Services
The Center for Campus Wellness hosts two types of free student testing clinics throughout
the semester
Bi-weekly Drop-in Services
Students can stop by the Center for Campus Wellness twice per month without an appointment and get a test for HIV and STIs with the support of our professional staff.
Testing is done on first come first serve basis.
Second Monday of the Month: From 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on the following dates; September 8th, October 10th, November 10th, December 8th, January 12th, February 9th, and April 13th.
Fourth Wednesday: From 11:00 am to 1:00pm on the following dates; September 24th, October 22nd, January 28th, February 25th, and March 25th.

Gonorrhea & Chlamydia
What is Gonorrhea & Chlamydia?
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are 2 of the most common STIs on a college campus. They are completely treatable bacterial infections that often have no symptoms. We recommend for anyone having sex to get tested every 3 to 6 months.
How do you get Gonorrhea or Chlamydia?
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are spread through sexual contact with someone who has the infection. These infections can spread even if no one cums. Usually, gonorrhea and chlamydia are spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. This is why it is important to use condoms and dental dams every time you have sex.
If someone contracts Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, treatment is very easy with a simple round of antibiotics.
