Immediate Assistance

Urgent appointments and debriefing are offered at the center and by many off-campus service providers. See below for a list of local off-campus emergency centers.

Same day urgent appointments are reserved for students who are thinking about suicide, have been the victim of a recent crime, or have experienced a recent life-altering event.  Students can schedule an urgent appointment by calling 256.824.6203 or coming to the counseling center. We see students by scheduled appointments only and are currently unable to provide walk in services.

For any emergency situation ON campus involving the threat of imminent danger, call Campus Police at 256.824.6911. 

For any emergency situation OFF campus involving the threat of imminent danger, call 911.

  For all other urgent situations, call the Counseling Center at 256.824.6203 to schedule an urgent appointment.
