Your Health, Your Way
At the Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC), we offer medical services and mental health counseling to support your well-being. We are here to provide timely, high-quality care based on what WOU students need most.
Who Can Use SHCC Services?
If you are an enrolled WOU student and pay the Health Fee, you are eligible for services. You must be physically in Oregon to access care.
What Does the Health Fee Cost?
- $192 – for students taking in-person or hybrid classes at the Monmouth campus
- $143 – for online students and those at the Salem campus
This fee is automatically added to your student account each term as part of the tuition and fees.
How Is the Health Fee Set?
The Health Fee is determined based on what is needed to sustain SHCC services. Before it’s finalized, input is gathered from:
- The Tuition and Fee Advisory Committee (TFAC)
- Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC)
- A campus-wide student survey
This year’s fee helps maintain current services.
Why Is the Health Fee a Good Value?
- SHCC has the lowest health fee in the state
- Covers both medical and counseling services
- Offers in-person and telehealth options
- Cost is less than one counseling session in the community
- Faster access than many off-campus providers

Welcome to SHCC!
Student feedback is important to us! It is how we set goals, know what the student needs are, and make decisions about the Student Health and Counseling Center services. There are two ways to have your voices heard.
- The Student Satisfaction Survey. While this is sent to every student after each appointment with SHCC, the link is also available on our website so that students can give feedback at any time.
- Join our Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) by completing the SHAC Application. We have updated the application so there is no deadline and now more accessible for students to join! Click here to find out more detailed information about SHAC.
