First Aid Kit

 

We keep q-tips, alcohol wipes, hydrogen peroxide solution, and band-aids for minor cuts and injuries. The kits are located in Room 133, University West for the Victoria Campus, at the front desk in UHS Sugar Land, and at the Administration Office in UHS Cinco Ranch.

 

 

Personal Counseling

 

Attending school is a rewarding experience, but it can also be a stressful experience, especially when we also have family and work obligations.  We all experience difficulties in life at one time or another, and sometimes it can help to speak with someone who can help us find the best way to deal with issues that we may be facing.

 

For times like these, we have a preferred provider agreement in Victoria with

 

Uri L. Gonik, Ph.D & Associates

2003 Patterson Drive

Victoria, Texas 77901

361-575-5021

 

A nominal fee is charged.

 

For students in the Houston area, we have compiled a brief list of counselor's information. To access the information please click on the link below

http://www.uhv.edu/sas/pdf/HoustonAreaCounselorReferralList.pdf.  This list is not a comprehensive list of counselors in the Houston area.

 

Please keep in mind that other counselors who may meet your needs can be found in your local phone book's yellow pages under "counseling services."

 

It takes a great deal of courage to say, "I need help."

 

Additional information to help you make informed decisions about your health can be found in UHV's Healthy Life Students' Self-Care Guide at http://www.uhv.edu/health/index.html.

 

 

Student Insurance

 

The Student Services Office provides insurance information for all students.

 

Students who need insurance information may call Student Services at 361-570-4137 or toll free at 1-877-970-4848 ext. 142.  We will be happy to mail a brochure.

 

International students who hold an F-1 student visa are required to show proof of medical insurance with medical evacuation/repatriation coverage while they are enrolled at the University of Houston Victoria.  Beginning with the Fall 2003 semester, F-1 international students at UHV who do not have insurance coverage will have the opportunity to purchase a medical coverage plan from Macori, Inc. of Spring, Texas.
