Appointment Information
We strive to assist students as quickly as possible so appointments are highly suggested. Appointments can be made by telephone at 256-765-5215 or in person at the office (726 North Pine St.- 1st Floor of Rice Hall) during regular business hours. We cannot make an appointment via email or on behalf of another person. We must speak directly to the student. Business hours are Monday- Friday; 8:00am- 4:00pm (When the university is open).
Tele-mental health sessions via HIPPA compliant, Zoom Healthcare are available to students who are off-campus or are taking all online courses if the student resides in the state of Alabama.
Consultation services are available for students who reside outside of the state of Alabama. Please call SCS at 256-765-5215 for additional information about consultation and/or tele-mental health services to discuss which option will best fit your needs!

Message about Parking:
There is no designated parking area for Student Counseling Services and, like the rest of our beautiful campus, parking is very limited. Spaces may be available in the parking deck located beside the Student Recreation Center, but parking spaces cannot be guaranteed.
It is recommended that students walk to our office if they are already parked on campus. Students are encouraged to plan their time accordingly and arrive for the first appointment 20-30 minutes early (Follow-up appointments usually do not require early arrival). Mane cards are required to enter the building!
