To schedule an appointment you may come by Counseling Services on the 3rd floor of the Rusk Building or call 468-2401.
Please arrive 10 minutes early for the first session in order to complete intake information. You must be an enrolled student to access services. There is no fee for counseling. Counseling sessions usually last 50 minutes. All sessions are private and records are confidential.
If you feel you are not connecting with your counselor you have the right to request a transfer to another counselor. Please understand you may only request a transfer one time. If at that time you are not comfortable with your new counselor we will be happy to give you a referral for another counseling center.
Changing Appointments
If it is necessary to change or cancel your appointment, please call 468-2401 or stop by the Counseling Services Counter 24 hours in advance.
Missed Appointments: Automatic Terminations
Please understand that, if you miss an appointment your appointment time may be given to another student.
Two consecutive missed appointments means that you will not be able to schedule other appointments for 20 working days.
If you have any questions or are not sure that you are clear about any of these policies, please feel free to discuss it with your counselor.
