NGU Clinic
Health Services
The NGU Clinic is located at 111 West Crain (behind the athletic complex). Health screening for symptoms of illness and referrals can also be provided through the phone when necessary.
In an effort to best use clinic resources, please book an appointment time that is at least 24 hours after symptom onset to ensure best testing results if testing is required. For example, if you wake up feeling bad on Monday morning, schedule a Tuesday morning appointment to ensure symptoms do not resolve on their own.

For students wishing to inquire about the possibility of receiving their allergy injections through the NGU clinic, please call the clinic at 864-901-7487 for an initial evaluation. After the initial evaluation, the process for us to obtain the necessary information from the student’s home allergist’s office can take up two weeks. Please plan accordingly.
