Adjusted Hours

The University Counseling Center will be CLOSED for in-person services after 5 PM on Monday, March 16, 2020. All services after that time will be provided by telephone, e-mail or other communication platforms ONLY until the end of the academic year. Counselors will reach out to currently scheduled students about how to connect for their appointment. Clinical services for the rest of this academic year will be provided primarily to enrolled students who are staying on campus or in the local community. Counselors will attempt to connect other students who are outside of Virginia with appropriate resources for care as needed during their time away from campus. If you have questions about mental health care during this time of limited services please call 540-458-8590 and leave a message, or e-mail: counseling@wlu.edu.
