The providers in the Student Health Center offer care free of judgment. There may be minimal costs for labs, however, the Heath Center will assist those needing financial assistance.

The Counseling Center offers free, confidential services to currently enrolled students. Students can access services by attending walk-in hours (11 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday-Friday) or by calling Public Safety (619) 260-2222 and asking to speak with the counselor on-call.

The University of San Diego is committed to that the care and support of family, which is at the heart of Catholic social teaching.
