Counselling is available for personal, academic and career issues. Students are encouraged to make appointments early before small problems become unmanageable. There is an on-call counsellor available daily to deal with more acute, crisis counselling situations. Students with these types of concerns may drop in to see the on-call counsellor for a brief assessment of the situation followed up with an appointment if necessary.
