Health and Counseling Services

The Stephen F. and Marsha Dickey Health and Wellness Center staff provides on-campus consultation to students for minor illnesses, injuries and short-term mental health concerns. Laboratory testing is also available. Full-time undergraduate and all international students pay a mandatory student health fee each semester. This provides for full use of the Dickey Health and Wellness Center, which includes health, counseling and wellness services. It is not advised to drop any existing private insurance policy you have in addition to the school insurance policy. For more information, go to www.ut.edu/healthcenter/insurance.

The Dickey Health and Wellness Center allows the University to centralize the leadership and coordination of all student health, counseling and wellness programs. It also enables UT to continue its mission of helping students make positive lifestyle choices and achieve optimal wellness.
