On your first visit to the portal please update your preferred name and other demographic information and consider opting in for text reminders.

Currently enrolled and degree-seeking University of Utah students are eligible for University of Utah Counseling Center Services (UCC). 

You may schedule a virtual Initial Consultation for individuals via the online portal at https://utah.medicatconnect.com. For group or couples initial consultations, or if needing assistance, please call 801-581-6826. If you need to cancel or reschedule an Initial Consultation appointment, please give us 24-hour notice so we can offer the Initial Consultation appointment to another student. 

Initial Consultation appointments will be conducted via Zoom with a UCC clinician. These appointments take between 20 to 30 minutes. 

After scheduling an Initial Consultation appointment, you will receive appointment reminders. Prior to the morning of your scheduled appointment please visit the online portal to complete necessary pre-appointment forms.
