Objective: to map the welcoming services in Mental Health offered to students by Brazilian public universities. Method: a documentary research study presented as a cartography of the Brazilian public universities that offer in-person courses. The data were collected from August to October 2019 on the Ministry of Education website, according to the following variables: information about the welcoming service, access modality, activities offered; and geographic distribution of the universities offering the service in Brazil. Results: of the 107 universities, 73 report having a welcoming service in Mental Health and, of these, 43 indicate the access modality, mostly through appointment scheduling, and the types of activities developed with respect to Psychological Emergency Care. Final Considerations: with the increase in psychological distress among students, it is the university’s duty to be an interlocutor and welcome this demand. The study contributes by warning about the need to expand these services.
