Whether connecting with counseling services on or off-campus, we recognize that students may experience a wait between scheduling and meeting with a provider. We have a number of resources available that can be accessed quickly and easily, and that can help address many of the most common concerns that students experience. Here you will find quick access to some of the additional resources that are available.
