Student Health and Wellness Center


Welcome to UTEP and to YOUR Student Health and Wellness Center!

The College of Health Sciences has administrative responsibility for the UTEP Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC) which is here to address health care needs of all UTEP students.  Primary care services as well as immunizations are available at the SHWC.  Students can also receive counseling, wellness, and nutrition education services at the SHWC. 

Each semester, every student pays a nominal fee to access Student Health and Wellness Center services.  There is a $30.00 fee for each visit to the SHWC.   Services are provided on a fee-for-service basis.  Fees can be billed to student insurance or on a self-pay basis according to students’ needs.  In the event that a student does not have the financial means to pay for services at the time of a visit, fees can be deferred to the student’s GOLDMINE account.  Certain lab services are billed independently by the respective lab performing a service based on student specific needs. 

For all non COVID health care needs, including appointments, dial (915) 747-5624.

If you have COVID health related questions, please call (915) 747-8818 to better serve you.

An appointment in our schedule with your name on it is a bond of trust indicating we will be here to serve you and you will be present for that appointment.

If you fail to show up for your scheduled appointment or to cancel/reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance as required, you will be charged a NO SHOW FEE in the amount of $25.00. This fee will appear on your Goldmine account.
