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 appointment and additional cost information, students are invited to call 915 747-5624.
