College is a time of significant change, growth, and independence. While it's an exciting period, it can also be stressful. This unique blend of challenges and opportunities makes mental health a crucial aspect of a college student's life. Students may reach out to the following departments to access mental health resources: 

• Office of Health Promotion & Wellness

• University Counseling & Psychological Services

DePaul Student Health partners with Ascension Health to provide students living in DePaul Housing with services for everyday health care needs. They are conveniently located on the Lincoln Park Campus. Students living in University Center in the Loop may also access this service for a fee.

DePaul University complies with the Illinois Department of Health, which requires students to provide proof of immunization for Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis, Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Meningococcal.

A range of resources are offered by the Office of Health Promotion & Wellness to promote sexual health as an aspect of one’s holistic well-being and framed in a healthy relationship. 

Students who are facing financial hardships, including food insecurity, can register to access The Basic Needs Hub, which offers a number of resources, such as food, toiletries, and clothing. There are Basic Needs Hub locations on the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses.
