Health and Wellness Services

Health Services is available to currently registered students of the Daytona Beach campus. We have a full-time team of five registered nurses available on a walk-in basis. A Physician’s Assistant, Nurse Practitioner and University Physician are available by appointment Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters. Summer semester hours/coverage will vary.

Students are seen free of charge because the health services fee is paid thru tuition. Insurance companies are sometimes billed for extensive procedures.

Flight Students and Air Traffic Control Students

Prospective Flight and Air Traffic Control students should be aware that certain sensory impairments, medical, neurobiological, and psychological conditions, and prescription medications might delay or preclude FAA medical certification. Students should discuss these issues with an aviation medical examiner to ensure they are eligible to participate in instruction.

Students may also contact the Health Services staff for information regarding eligibility for certification. FAA medical examiners can be located through Flight Physical or AME Locator.
