Eligibility to Use Counseling and Mental Health Center Services
No Additional Summer Fee and Summer 2024 Usage and Eligibility
Whether you're taking summer classes or just taking a break before the Fall 2024 semester, you can still use the Counseling and Mental Health Center without any additional summer fee. Your eligibility to use these services depends on your enrollment status and where you currently live.
Your current enrollment status and current state of residence determine your ability to use the services provided by Counseling and Mental Health Center. This is because CMHC services are funded, in part, by tuition and most CMHC providers can only practice in the state of Texas.
