Student Health Services
The Florida Polytechnic University Health Clinic, located in the Wellness Center, provides initial diagnosis and treatment of simple injuries and/or illnesses, and appropriate follow-up for many short-term illnesses. Our providers are experienced in treating common medical problems seen on college campuses and are advocates of a wellness approach to health care. An immunization record must be completed by a physician prior to registration for all full-time students. All students are asked to have access to their medical insurance information, if any, when they visit the Campus Health Clinic.
Mental Health Counseling
Short-term counseling is available for currently enrolled Florida Poly students. Students who require long-term counseling services will be referred for counseling within the community. Students are encouraged to reach out for support for any issue that may affect their academic performance, including depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, relationships and eating disorders. To be connected with a counselor email CARE at care@floridapoly.edu or call 863-874-8599. Counselors are available 24/7 at 1-800-878-5470.

Disability Services
Disability Services
In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Florida Polytechnic University seeks to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities.
Reasonable accommodations are determined via an interactive process, which consist of student submitting an application, supporting medical documentation, and meeting with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) staff. No service or accommodation is provided automatically or unilaterally by this office. Each student must initiate the process by contacting ODS and submitting a completed application with disability related documentation for any accommodations that may be needed. All records are held and retained in a confidential manner.
To discuss needs for academic, housing, or dining accommodations based on a documented disability, please contact the Office of Disability Services:

Student Ombuds
The Office of the Ombuds at Florida Polytechnic University is a confidential, impartial, independent and informal resource for students who have encountered university-related issues and concerns. The Ombuds Office’s mission is to facilitate fair and equitable resolution processes that promote student success.
The university ombuds person can be the first resource when a student does not know where to get information for a particular situation; or as a last resort, when normal channels of communication have failed to bring resolution to a difficulty.
To make an appointment, contact 863-874-8500.
CARE Services can help students identify and overcome barriers that affect a student’s ability to be successful at Florida Poly.

CARE Services supports students in the navigation of systems and access to resources. CARE Services can be reached at care@floridapoly.edu or 863-874-8641.
