Eligibility for Services

The Student Health Center Fee, which is included in the university's mandatory Student Service Fee, is charged to students each Fall, Spring, and Summer term that they are enrolled in credit hours. This fee is used to subsidize the cost of your patient appointments and helps decrease the cost of other services.

All students enrolled in credit hours at the University of Houston are eligible for all services at the Student Health Center during the current term's eligibility for services period.

Term eligibility dates are based on the university's Academic Calendar regular session for the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms, not college-specific dates.
