Help Us Respond to UP Student Health Needs

February 2, 2026

Support UP Health, Counseling, and Wellness by sharing the importance of the NCHA survey with students. This survey will help us update our services and programming to meet the needs of the current UP student population. The survey will be emailed to all UP students February 1, and will remain open until February 22.

To help us spread the word, click the link to below access the survey toolkit:

NCHA Promotion Toolkit

This has the link to information about incentives, details about how to access the survey, and frequently asked questions. Along with this, the toolkit has slides to add to lectures/presentations, flyers, and quarter sheets. You can also use the link in the toolkit to sign up to receive the summary report after the survey concludes!

Help us spread the word, and reach out to wellness@up.edu with any questions or ideas!
