At this time, the Health Professions Office is not accepting fee-based appointment requests. If you are a currently enrolled student or a recent graduate (within 1 year post-graduation), please visit our services page.
The Health Professions Office is available to all students and alumni of The University of Texas at Austin. However, as Health Professions coaching is funded through student fees paid upon enrollment, current students are our primary clients.
During the first 2 weeks of the semester our appointments are reserved for currently enrolled undergraduate students and recent graduates (within 1 year post-graduation). Starting the 3rd week of classes, limited appointments are available for the certain populations at a fee.
Recent Graduates (Free, Full Services)
To promote the success of our recent graduates, we will continue to offer all student services free for one (1) full year after graduation including scheduling appointments during peak hours and participating in virtual coaching walk-in's. After the full year has lapsed, alumni are eligible for services on a renewable fee basis.
Fee-Based Services
Fee-based services are available to the following groups:
- UT Austin Alumni, who are no longer enrolled and have been graduated for more than 1 academic year.
- For example, a student who graduated in May 2024 would have access to free services until May 2025. After May 2025, if they wish to schedule an appointment with a coach, they will need to request a fee-based appointment.
- Prospective post-baccalaureate students, interested in doing DIY post-bacc classes at UT Austin prior to enrollment.
- For example, a student who has graduated from another institution with a bachelor's degree that is seeking to take prerequisite courses for academic credit at UT Austin to apply to health professions school.
- UT Extension students, or students only enrolled in UT Extension courses.
