Appointments
Would
you like to schedule an appointment at the University Counseling
and Testing Center?
Personal Counseling Appointment:
If
you would like to schedule an appointment phone the Counseling
and Testing Center (269-387-1850) or contact the receptionist
in Suite 2513 of the Faunce Student Services
Building (Birdcage Building). If it is your first contact
with the Center, or if it has been more than a year since you
were last seen, you will be asked to complete an interactive computerized
assessment instrument. This process will take about 20 minutes
and provide important information that will enable the staff to
best meet your needs. After the assessment is completed, an appointment
will be scheduled at the first mutually convenient time available.
Please
inform the receptionist if your situation requires immediate attention.
Special arrangements will be made for you to meet with a counselor
as soon as possible.
Career Counseling Appointment:
If
you wish to meet with a career counselor phone the
Center (269-387-1850) or stop by the office at Suite 2513 in the Faunce Student Services Building and request to have an intake interview set up to help determine your career counseling needs. On the day of the appointment arrive 10 minutes early to fill out the computer intake information. On the computer intake write in detail why you are seeking career counseling services, whether you are interested in career assessment or not, and what you are looking to get out of career counseling. You will then attend a 1 hour career counseling intake appointment. Besides career counseling, your counselor may be of assistance by providing you with or pointing you toward various resources. If it appears that a career assessment would be beneficial, your counselor will discuss this with you and possibly arrange for you to take the Career Guidance Inventory (CGI).

Borgess Medical Center Emergency Room can be reached at 269-226-4815. Borgess provides immediate psychiatric assessment and treatment 24 hours a day.
