Students are scheduled for Initial Consultation appointments typically within one week of calling the Center for Student Wellbeing. During high volume times, especially around exams, assessment appointments may be scheduled within two weeks. Crises are not considered regular sessions and are not subject to these timelines.
The Center for Student Wellbeing does not prescribe psychotropic medications. Medications are prescribed by a Psychiatrist, medical doctor specializing in mental health, or other qualified medical professional during a psychiatry medication office visit. Center for Student Wellbeing Clinicians will help your student access an appropriate off-campus provider. There may be out of pocket costs associated with a psychiatry visit and subsequent follow-up appointments. Your student is responsible for the cost as the cost is not covered in tuition and fees.
Additionally, the college does not have a pharmacy or dispensary on site. Students must take written prescription to one of the local pharmacies (see below) to have it filled.
