Health & Wellness
Although all in-person and drop-in services are temporarily suspended, there have been temporary changes to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 and licensure/compliance guidelines. As of Monday, March 30, Health and Counseling Services can provide routine telehealth services by pre-scheduled appointment and consultation and referral support by telephone. Days and hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Hours are subject to change without notice due to the rapidly evolving situation.) This will continue until the end of the spring semester. See below for instructions on how to access services.
