Because Lamar State College-Orange is strictly a commuter school, the college does not employ a full-time health professional. The existence of the Orange County ambulance service, the close proximity of the local hospital, and the posting of emergency telephone numbers in each office provide adequate medical service for the staff and student body. Students are encouraged to contact their personal physicians or the County Health Clinic in case of illness. Any campus accident or serious illness must be reported to the Vice President for Student Services.

All registered students enrolled in six or more credit hours (three or more during the summer) are eligible to purchase health insurance for an entire year or for one semester. Health and accident insurance is required of all foreign students and all participants in the intramural sports and Spring Day program. Insurance information is available from the Vice President for Student Services and the Director of Security.
