Health & Counseling Center

Beginning Friday, May 16th, the Ritchie Center will host local school graduation ceremonies most days. Please allow extra time to arrive for appointments given increased traffic, crowds, and security screenings, and have your DU ID card with you. More facilities details on the the Ritchie Center events page.

Spring term SHIP coverage continues through 7/31/25 (for Law) and 8/31/2025 (for quarter students), even if you graduate in May/June.  If you have questions about summer SHIP coverage or HCC service eligibility, visit our Leaving DU page!

While no cases have yet been reported in the DU community, measles (highly contagious and dangerous) is on the rise nationally. Students can check your immunization record status, schedule a vaccination at the HCC, and learn more on our Immunization page.

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.

  Check Test Results

  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.

  Pay Your Bill

  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).
