Health Services
The Care-A-Van provides health services to Antelope Valley College students, and we also provide educational information to our students via health related events held throughout the year.
Beginning Fall 2012, AVC will be offering Health Services for students on a regular basis. This is being accomplished by the Student Health Fee of $19 per Fall and Spring semesters and $16 for each winter intersession and summer terms.
Physical and mental health services are available for students as well as health education and prevention activities. Students are required to pay the Student Health Services Fee except for religious reasons. Students must come to the Student Development and College Activities office to complete the waiver each semester and term.
To make appointments for physical and mental health services, stop by the Student Development and College Activities office, SSV 180, or call the Student Health Services line (661) 722-6300 ext. 6683.
