Student Counseling Services (SCS) has started offering video/phone support for emotional and mental health needs of students currently in Minnesota. Current SCS clients who are physically in the state are able to schedule video appointments with their counselor by contacting us via email (preferred) or phone. 

If you are interested in starting counseling services at SCS, or have not been seen at SCS for 6 months, please complete this form.

Current clients who have scheduled appointments will receive follow-up communications from our staff regarding how to use Zoom to meet with their counselor virtually at their scheduled appointment time.

Academic coaching appointments can be scheduled with Student Academic Success Services directly by emailing sass@umn.edu or through our main counseling email counseling@umn.edu.  Students do not need to be physically in Minnesota to participate in academic coaching. Students can email our reception staff at the general email address for more information.

Students requesting assistance may email us or call our main line at 612-624-3323 and leave a message and we will return your call within 1 business day.

To better serve you during this time of working remotely, please contact us by email at counseling@umn.edu rather than by phone.
