The HCC will be closed for the University's Thanksgiving holidays on Thursday and Friday, November 28th and 29th. For a non-emergency illness, injury, or mental health crisis, call the 303-871-2205 and follow prompts for on-call provider.
The University of Denver Health & Counseling Center ("the HCC") is your on-campus integrated health and counseling facility providing quality physical and mental health care services to all actively enrolled DU students other than those in completely online programs. We also offer prevention, education and support programs on a range of well-being topics.
This is not a self-service website or mere set of services — you don't have to do everything on your own! We encourage you to reach out to us for inclusive physical and mental health care, preventative care, health education, advocacy, and recovery support services. We are committed to care of body and mind, helping students to succeed in college and life.
How Can We Help You?
Scheduling Appointments
Most appointments can be scheduled same-day using the MyHealth portal. If you need to make a counseling appointment or see a specialist, or if you have trouble accessing the MyHealth portal, call the HCC directly at 303-871-2205. Remember to show up to your appointments on time! Late fees may apply.
The easiest way to get in touch with the HCC is to call the Front Desk at 303-871-2205. Help is available 24/7. For emergencies, dial 9-1-1 or call Campus Safety at 303-871-3000 or ext. 1-3000. While we are not an emergency room or urgent care clinic, we are here to help you find the resources you need.
The HCC provides on-site laboratory services for a variety of tests, though some need to be sent to third-party laboratories for analysis. Results will be posted as soon as they become available. You can check on your test results by logging into the MyHealth portal.
Students are required to pay for all HCC services at the time of their visit. The HCC does not bill insurance companies or Medicaid — those with alternate coverage are responsible for seeking reimbursement from their providers. Students may also receive an invoice for services that were not billed at the visit (such as laboratory tests).
While the Health & Counseling Center is not an emergency room or urgent care facility, we are here to make sure you get the help you need when you need it. If you or someone around you is in an emergency (safety risk) situation, don't hesitate to call 9-1-1, or Campus Safety at 303-871-3000 or ext. 1-3000, right away. For a non-emergency illness, injury, or mental health crisis, call the Front Desk at 303-871-2205 — help is available 24/7.
The Health & Counseling Center provides outreach to the DU community through a variety of trainings and presentations promoting health and well-being. Each can be customized to fit your group's specific needs.
