Student Support Services in N.C.

Support for North Carolina Students

While dedicated faculty, coaches and tutors support your academic success, caring staff, counselors and nurses are here to nurture your mind, body and well-being. Here’s how we’re here for you outside of the classroom.

Counseling Services

We offer short-term individual therapy, group therapy and crisis intervention to help students manage concerns such as anxiety, depression and loneliness. We also provide referrals for long-term or specialized off-campus care.
