How it Works
The Counseling Center generally operates on an appointment basis; however, walk-ins are welcome. Appointments are usually available within 48 hours. After the first appointment, the student and counselor will collaborate to determine the best course of action.
Students in crisis will always be given priority, with all service users informed that their appointment may be rescheduled should an emergency arise.
Counseling services on a short-term basis are available to assist students in dealing with personal issues and emotional concerns. Individual counseling sessions, self-help resources, and workshops on various topics are offered on campus to assist students with their psychological well-being and individual development. Students may use this service by making a confidential appointment at the Adams Center.
Psychoeducational programs, addressing high-frequency mental health issues in the college population, are presented throughout the year by staff and trained peer educators.
