Student Information

Our center is dedicated to providing the best service possible. This web page contains information about the variety of the services we offer, our referral processes, confidentiality policies, student rights and responsibilities, online depression screening, and a brief introduction to our staff. Explore our website and ask your advisor or counselor to explain any points that are not clear.

How to Use Our Services

There is no fee for our service. While many students prefer to make an appointment with an advisor or counselor, we also have times set aside for students who drop in. If you have a particular advisor or counselor you would like to see, please tell us. Occasionally, you may experience a short wait to be seen. Walk-in waiting time becomes more common in the months of November and December as new students prepare for the spring semester. Please give our front desk staff as much information as possible so that you can be efficiently and effectively served. Be aware that students who have made appointments will have priority.
