We strive to facilitate students' personal growth and enhance their academic success through accessible, culturally congruent clinical and outreach services. We work in collaboration with other Wellness and university departments and community partners.
How to Access Services
Students can schedule an initial mental health appointment by visiting the USD MyWellness Portal and using their USD MySanDiego username and password to log in to the portal. This portal can be accessed via any computer or smartphone that offers access to the internet. Students can also call 619.260.4655 to request a mental health appointment.
Student Wellness has additional virtual resources for students and community members on the Be Well USD website.
If this is your first time securing Student Wellness services for the academic year you should begin by clicking the “Forms” tab and completing your Consent to Receive Services and Health History forms.
Next click on your profile, update your contact information and select your mobile carrier to receive a text reminder. Please note that a text message reminder will be automatically sent to the phone number listed on your MyWellness Portal 2 hours prior to your initial appointment.
Then you can click on the Appointments tab and follow the instructions to arrange for a an in-person or telemental health appointment with a USD Mental Health Counselor.
After you schedule your appointment you will be asked to complete a questionnaire. You will select an on-campus or telehealth visit. If you select telehealth, please look for a secure message via MyWellness Portal with a secure link for your "Zoom HealthCare" at the time of your telehealth appointment.
