During business hours, students are instructed to reach out to the Counseling Center if they are experiencing a mental health emergency, or to call 988 or 911 if they are unable to reach the Counseling Center.

Same-day appointments are welcomed if appropriate, although the counseling staff may have scheduled appointments booked that day. Depending on the situation, staff may be able to accommodate the student in need of assistance.
