QUICK ACCESS APPOINTMENTS:
In the latter part of the semester, the Counseling Center utilizes quick access appointments. These appointments allow students to obtain a single session as quickly as possible. These appointments are brief solution-focused sessions intended to address immediate needs.
Students accessing these appointments will fill out brief paperwork providing background information that will assist the counselor in addressing the student’s concerns. Students will leave these appointments with resources and strategies for managing their concerns.
These appointments are available on a walk-in basis Monday-Friday from 1-4pm. Please be advised that these appointments are first-come, first serve and may require a wait. Students can utilize multiple quick access appointments, if needed.
