Health Services
Kennesaw State University Health Center
The KSU Health Center, in collaboration with the Cobb County Board of Health, serves students, faculty, and staff of Kennesaw State University by encouraging health promotion and disease prevention. Certified Nurse Practitioners and students currently enrolled in the Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Program provide services including physical examinations, adult immunizations, women's health, laboratory testing, and health education. Medical information is confidential and will not be released without the patient's written consent except as required by law.

Health Center fees are set by the Cobb County Board of Health. Cash, Check, VISA, and MasterCard are accepted. Some insurance plans are accepted.

The Health Center is located on the ground floor of the Nursing Building, Room 014. Services are by appointment (770) 423-6644. The Health Center is closed on scheduled school holidays and hours limited during semester breaks.

Kennesaw State University being a nonresidential university, does not assume responsibility for the overall health and physical well-being of its students. The university does assume, however, a reasonable degree of responsibility for the safety and welfare of its student body by encouraging students to participate in a nominally priced accident and sickness insurance plan and maintaining adequately equipped first-aid stations at strategic locations on campus.

If an individual becomes seriously ill or involved in an accident requiring medical attention, the KSU police should be contacted by dialing ext. 6666. There are police officers, who are trained in C.P.R. and State-certified First Responders, on duty during all normal office and class hours. Comprehensive medical facilities are reasonably accessible to the campus. If it becomes necessary to seek medical attention beyond minor first-aid treatment, the following steps will be taken:

1. If the student is conscious and alert and wants an ambulance to be called, the attending officer will comply with the request.
2. If the student is unconscious, he/she will be treated and transported to the hospital by ambulance. The attending officer will call the ambulance at the individual's expense to transport him/her to the nearest emergency room.
3. In the case of injury to students participating in sanctioned intercollegiate athletic activities, the university will assume responsibility for the expense of the ambulance.
4. Every reasonable effort will be made to contact parents, spouse or next of kin to inform them of the situation.

No student with a contagious disease may attend classes. Every student is held individually responsible for adhering to this regulation. Any student who needs special consideration because of any physical disability-either permanent or temporary-should have the attending physician write an explanatory letter to the vice president for student success and enrollment services giving full details of the disability and any desired limitations or special considerations requested.

Information Booth
Located on the second floor of the Carmichael Student Center, the information booth is operated under the direction of the Student Life Center. The information booth is staffed by student assistants who provide a number of services. Poster paints may be checked out at the information booth upon presentation of a valid KSU ID card. The card will be returned when the paints are returned.

General information is available on a variety of subjects. Students can pick up printed materials such as the schedules of classes, student handbooks and event announcements. Also, information booth workers can answer students' questions or direct students to the proper offices for information.

Photo ID cards are made at the Information Booth. Students should show proof of registration and fee payment for the semester in order to have an ID card made. Replacement ID cards cost $15.00 and students must also show proof of enrollment. For more information on student ID cards, call the Student Life Center at (770) 423-6280.

Lost-and-found services are available at the information booth. Items found on campus should be turned in there. All lost-and-found items that are not claimed will be kept until the end of the semester and then donated to a social service agency.

Intercollegiate Athletics
Initiated in the fall of 1982, KSU's intercollegiate sports program is a member of the Peach Belt Athletic Conference and Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Fighting Owls currently sponsor five sports each for men (baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, and outdoor track) and women (basketball, cross-country, softball, tennis, and outdoor track). Varsity cheerleading is also a part of both the men's and women's basketball programs.

Students receive free admission, with a valid ID, to all of KSU's home contests and are encouraged to become involved as either a team participant or a spectator.

Kennesaw State University Alumni Association (KSUAA)
Chartered in 1977, the Kennesaw State University Alumni Association, Inc. is a nonprofit, educational corporation. The association places particular emphasis on and concentrates the majority of its energies and resources toward providing programs and services for alumni, fostering institutional pride, developing and enhancing KSU's public image and meeting needs by raising and administering funds for educational purposes at Kennesaw State University. The affairs of the association are guided by a 19-member board of directors including a five-member executive committee. Each director serves for a term of three years.

Kennesaw State University employs a full-time staff, including an executive director, to support the association and direct Alumni Affairs' programs and activities.

All graduates of KSU and its predecessors, Kennesaw State College, Kennesaw College and Kennesaw Junior College, are eligible for regular membership in the association. Former students who were regularly matriculated, active and retired members of the faculty and administrative staff and parents of former or present students are eligible for associate membership. Both types of membership demonstrate support for KSU and carry several entitlements including receipt of Kennesaw magazine and access to most campus facilities and services. Annual dues are $25.

Student Activities & Budget Advisory Committee
The Student Activities & Budget Advisory Committee (SABAC) serves as an advisory group to the university administration concerning student activity funds. It also approves applications for forming new campus organizations as well as updates to constitutions for existing organizations.

Membership of the Student Activities and Budget Advisory Committee includes representatives of the administration, staff, faculty and students.

Student members are elected annually. Students are invited to apply for election to this committee. For more information contact the Student Life Center at 770-423-6280.

Student Housing
Kennesaw State University is a nonresidential university. Students are expected to provide their own off-campus housing. Notices regarding available housing near the university are posted on the housing bulletin board, located on the second floor of the Carmichael Student Center. The housing bulletin board is provided solely for the convenience of students and should not in any way be construed as warranting, endorsing or otherwise approving the security, safety or habitability of the premises listed. A list of nearby apartment complexes is also located in the Student Life Center. The institution specifically disclaims any liability for injuries or damages which may be sustained as a consequence of or in any way growing out of the occupancy, use or rental of the private housing accommodations listed.

Student Services Fees
Upon registering, each student pays a student services fee of $131. Of this amount, $62 goes to the intercollegiate athletics program, $37 to student activities and $32 to the Student Center addition project. Student activity funds support a variety of programs, activities and organizations to provide all students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, form social networks, maintain a healthy mind and body, and enjoy a variety of entertainment. Activities supported by student fees include student publications, intramural activities, indoor recreation, student union programs, student government programs, performing arts, clubs, organizations, student leadership training programs, the Center for Health Promotion & Wellness and the Lifelong Learning Center. Because student fees help to pay for these activities, students receive publications at no additional cost and can participate in workshops, seminars, entertainment and other activities at no additional cost.

Student activity fees go into the student activities budget, which is handled by the Business Office under the ultimate authority of the vice president for business and finance. Expenditures are supervised by the vice president for student success and enrollment services. Authority for yearly allocations has been delegated by the president of the university to the vice president for student success and enrollment services, who acts on the advice of the Student Activities and Budget Advisory Committee (SABAC). The committee meets during spring semester to plan the next fiscal year's budget. During the year, it considers deviations from the budget that occur as a result of changes in the university's financial situation or as a result of changes in situations affecting organizations or programs funded by student fees. The student activities budget begins with SABAC. It solicits budget requests from funded organizations and holds hearings to consider whether each organization should be given the amount requested. Hearings are open to the public. Students are welcome to attend and to make their opinions known about how these funds are to be used.
