Student Health Services Mission & Goals Counseling Services Mission & Goals

The mission of Student Health Services is "to enhance students' health by collaboratively providing basic health services, access to information and resources, advocacy for campus health policies, and prevention focused programming so that students can successfully pursue their academic, personal, and professional endeavors."

Student Health and Counseling Services goals are to:

  • Provide access to clinical health and mental health services.
  • Monitor the health and mental health of students, the campus, and the community.
  • Identify pertinent health and mental health concerns and issues.
  • Address health and mental health issues through collaborative health programming, services, and policies.
  • Serve as a consultant and resource for health and mental health related information and services.

Eligibility:  Certain clinical health services are provided through Student Health Services for registered full-time and part-time UWRF students through contractual agreements with M Health Fairview Clinic-River Falls and Pierce County Reproductive Health. A portion of the segregated fees paid by students supports Student Health Services. Students are eligible for Student Health Services during the two academic terms, and J term and Summer term, as long as they are registered for classes and have paid required fees. Students are eligible between consecutive terms as long as they are registered for the next term and have paid fees as required.  Generally students enrolled in classes offered as part of a distance education program, such as an online program or study abroad, do not pay segregated fees and so would not be eligible for services provided through Student Health and Counseling Services.

Student Health Services is NOT health insurance.

  • Coordinates referrals to off-campus professionals when specialized, more intensive, and/or longer term services are needed.
  • Creates developmental programming to increase healthy lifestyle and coping behaviors across campus.
  • Provides leadership and advocacy for university mental health policy and initiatives.

Eligibility:  Students who are officially enrolled for at least one credit during the term (fall, spring, or summer) in which they seek services are eligible to receive counseling. Students enrolled during the spring semester and registered for classes in the subsequent fall semester may also access services during the summer months (e.g., they need not be enrolled for summer credits in this case). Students enrolled during the fall semester and registered for classes in the spring semester may access services during J term. Generally students enrolled in classes offered as part of a distance education program, such as an online program or study abroad, do not pay segregated fees and so would not be eligible for services provided through Student Health and Counseling Services.
