HCC Summer schedule notes:

All in-person Counseling appointments are at our Ritchie Center location. (Asbury is closed for summer.)

As always, outside regular business hours, students with urgent concerns can call 303.871.2205 and follow "after hours" prompts to connect with an on-call provider.

Incoming students and families, check our Preparing for Fall page and our 2025-26 HCC brochure (PDF), summarizing key info and action items.

Spring term SHIP (student insurance) coverage continues through 7/31/2025 for Law students, or 8/31/2025 for quarter students, even if you graduate in May/June.
Questions about summer SHIP coverage or HCC service eligibility? Visit our Leaving DU page.

2025-26 SHIP decision action (including waiver request) is now available for fall-registered students.

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 medial and mental health appointments can be scheduled same-day using the MyHealth portal. If you need help making an appointment or have other questions, call the HCC during business hours at 303-871-2205. Remember to show up to your appointments on time! Late fees may apply.
Contact Us

Call 303.871.2205.
During business hours, our Front Desk staff can help with general information, billing/insurance, scheduling, and/or connect you with triage clinicians for urgent matters. You can also email hccinfo@du.edu with routine business questions.
After hours, follow prompts to reach our on-call medical and mental health providers. Check our urgent/after hours care page for other community options.
For emergencies, dial 9-1-1 or call Campus Safety at 303-871-3000.
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 results and other records 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). Make a payment, download receipts for reimbursement, and get other information on our Payments page.
