Transportation Options (at student’s expense)
THROUGH LYFT, UBER & BASC
BASC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Hazen does not transport students to off-campus medical appointments. Students are responsible for their own transportation.
- If the health center refers a student that was seen in the health center to an emergency room, and the patient is stable, we may be able to transport to the closest emergency room during business hours.
- In the event of exceptional circumstances (i.e., infectious disease outbreak, staff shortage that would jeopardize clinic flow and safety, vehicle unavailability due to maintenance issues, etc.), vehicle transportation by Hazen staff may not be available and students will need to secure alternate means of transportation.
