The University Counseling and Testing Center provides mental health services to currently enrolled UO students, testing services, and training and supervision to graduate-level therapists. Most therapy programs and services are covered by the student health fee. Additional charges exist for psychological and educational testing, mandated drug and alcohol programs, and failing to cancel appointments in advance. A professional support and crisis line is available when the center is closed.
