State requires notification of parents after an underage drinking violation
Students under the age of 21 have more than the law to worry about when they get caught with underage drinking. According to Pa. crimes code 6308, which covers the purchase, consumption and transportation of alcohol, the parents of the alcohol minor will be contacted following a citation.
Free STI testing offered
Health Services now offers free STI testing for those students who are at risk. This service is available to students because of the relationship the institution has built with the PA Department of Health. The testing is meant to target students at Millersville who might have been exposed to or have symptoms resulting from risky behavior.

Health Center no longer available 24/7
New and old students alike will have to become more proactive in taking care of their own health concerns this semester as the infirmary will no longer be available twenty-four hours a day.
The Health Center recently limited their hours due to both the loss of Dr. James Heffern, the former medical director, and their issues with staffing the infirmary overnight. The Health Center’s new hours are from Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and they are closed Sundays.
