Scheduling Appointments

Services After Hours

After hours residential students should contact Campus Security at (203) 773-8509 or the Assistant Hall Director at (203) 675-5407. If students live off campus they should contact 911.

Confidentiality

If your student is already being seen with us, please know that our counseling center adheres to the professional and ethical standards of the federal and Connecticut state laws. Without written consent from the students, we are unable to disclose whether or not they have made an appointment of any additional information. The main exception to this rule is if the student is in imminent danger of causing hurt to themselves or someone else.
