Student Health and Wellness

Student Health and Wellness (SHAW) offers health and mental health services to support your personal and academic success of Grinnell students. We utilize a holistic approach to emphasis the importance of prevention, intervention, and recovery for acute health concerns. Most of our services are covered by the cost of tuition with no additional cost to the students. We also help students connect with medical providers/specialists in the community when needed.

Nursing appointments may be scheduled online, however counseling appointments must be made in person or via phone at 641-269-3230.

New Student Information

All incoming Grinnell College students have several health compliance requirements. These need to be completed by July 15, 2019. Students can view the pdf of health requirements or, if ready, enter health information in the health portal. To access health requirements students will need their email username (the part before the @grinnell.edu) and their password for their email. The medical clearance page (on the left hand tab) has all of the necessary items to complete.
