The UTEP Wellbeing website is designed to be a one stop shop on topics related to student health and wellbeing. Our goal is to connect you with offices, services, programs, and events that support our six primary areas of wellbeing: physical, emotional, financial, intellectual, environmental, and social. We will also provide resources related to campus safety. Most services / programs are limited to students based on financial support primarily from student service fees.
Check out the icons below for more information.
UTEP offers a range of health and wellbeing services from counseling services to medical care, academic support to recreation classes, and victim advocacy to safety workshops. This site is dedicated to services available to enrolled UTEP students. While some services or programs may be open to the outside public, most are limited to students based on financial support primarily from student service fees.
