SCF Wellness Program

A Lifelong Journey of Personal Health and Fitness

The SCF Wellness Program is designed for full- or part-time SCF students, faculty and staff, and is made up of a variety of activities from the seven dimensions of wellness: Physical, Spiritual, Social, Emotional, Intellectual, Occupational and Environmental

The program begins the first day of classes during the Fall and Spring semesters.

How Does The Program Work?

Every activity is given a "wellpoint" value. Complete the activity and receive the wellpoints. Each semester, each participant must complete an application to participate and the Health Risk Appraisal described in the wellness brochure to begin the program. After completing the application, each participant can begin to accumulate wellpoints to be eligible for prizes and gift certificates. Keep track of your wellpoints on the wellpoint tracking sheet and turn it in by the last day of classes each semester. (Your attendance will be verified through a sign-in sheet at each event.)
