Health Services for University of Arkansas Students in Arkansas Who Study Exclusively Online
The University of Arkansas cares about your health and wellness. The Pat Walker Health Center provides medical, mental health, and substance use and support services for on-campus students in Fayetteville. The heath center began a pilot program in fall 2023 to offer some of its services to students located in Arkansas who are studying exclusively online.
These online students can access medical providers, mental health clinicians and mental health practitioners either by telephone, computer or in person (for those who live near Fayetteville).
