Appointments/Medication Pick up (Daily from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm)

Students do not need to make an appointment to be seen at the clinic or for picking up medications. Students visit the clinic if they are feeling unwell, need medication, or have other medical concerns. If a student requires medical assistance outside the 8 am - 4 pm hours, they can visit the Community Coordinator (CC) desk (residence hall) and speak to a CC on duty.

Medication Policy and Instructions

Prescription medicationsAll residential students are required to update Blackbaud regarding all prescriptions and over the counter medications. Students MAY NOT keep the following categories of medications in their room:

Antidepressants (ex: Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, Wellbutrin and others)
Antipsychotics (ex: Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify and others)
Anxyolitics (ex: Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin and others)
Mood stabilizers (ex: Lamictal, Depakote, Tegretol and others)
Stimulants (ex: Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Vyvanse and others)

Over the counter medications Students may keep over the counter medication(s) and some prescription medication(s) in their room.

Prescription medication pick up/drop off:

Students taking psychotropic medications must fill out Form F (blackbaud) and sign the consent on page 2.
The student should bring the medications to the clinic for weekly distribution at the beginning of the new semester or when a new prescription is added.
Students must come to the clinic weekly to pick up a week's worth of medications.
Students may keep only one week's supply of the prescribed medications in their room at any time.

Important tips regarding medications:

Students are responsible for their own course of treatment by taking their medication(s) as directed and by keeping only one week's worth of medication in their room at a time.

It is not the responsibility of the clinic to remind students to pick up their medication(s). Parents should check in with their student regularly to ensure that they are taking their medication(s) as directed.

Misuse, abuse, selling or giving prescribed medications to others is strictly prohibited and is a violation of the NCSSM Code of Conduct which may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from NCSSM.

NCSSM assumes no responsibility for the use or misuse of such medication. Please continue reading for more on our medication policy below.

Medical Forms

All families and students at NCSSM, not just the Residential program needs to upload the Junior Medical Packet, Senior Medical Packet and any Individualized Health Plans to "Blackbaud". The medical tab is only available to the parent profiles in Blackbaud, so parent profiles will need to be the ones that submit medical packets and allergies to the clinic.

Blank versions of both the Junior Medical Packet and Senior Medical Packet are linked her.

The Junior Medical Packet should be uploaded by the due date (typically mid May) even if the last physical date is over a year. The forms include the NCSSM physical form and the NCHSAA Physical form (A and B) both signed by a Primary Care Provider, Immunization Records, TB form signed by PCP and all pertinent allergy action plans. If your student has a new physical or updated immunization record after the due date, please update/upload in Blackbaud when available. Students must have all required forms and immunizations in order to move into the residence halls.

For varsity athletics, a physical less than a year old for the entire sports season must be submitted to the NCSSM clinic before tryouts or participation can occur
