What to Expect for Your Counseling Appointment

Be early! Arrive 10-15 minutes early to complete questionnaires and check-in

Stay a bit. First appointment is 1 hour. This is called an intake appointment, which is different than future appointments. You and the counselor get to know each other a little bit before diving in.

Book your next appt before leaving - Subsequent appointments will be 45 minutes

PLEASE NOTE:

There is an appointment fee of $10 billed to your student account. No need to bring cash or card to the SHC! 

Be sure to arrive on time for your appointment. Don't skip out! Please call if you need to reschedule. Failure to cancel 24-hours in advance, or being a no-show, will result in a $25.00 no-show fee billed to your student account.
