Welcome
The primary function of the Counselling Centre is to help students develop their personal capabilities.
Through individualized personal counselling, outpatient psychiatric services and a wide range of group counselling, professional staff and faculty at the Centre, with the assistance of supervised doctoral residents and practicum students from the various training programs on campus, help students to develop their own unique resources.
The Counselling Centre helps students develop their study strategies through academic support programming. The Centre offers support for study problems in which students learn to apply strategies for managing university level academic work more effectively. Following an intake session, students are provided with access to an online D2L course called, "Academic Skills Portfolio," that facilitates the acquisition and practice of helpful skills. In addition, students can register for the three credit-hour course (UCC2020: Applied Cognitive and Affective Learning Strategies) designed to enhance the learning skills of undergraduate students. UCC2020 registration is completed through the Memorial course registration system.
As an integral part of the academic community, Counselling Centre faculty are also involved in applied research, teaching, 2012-2013 psychology residency training, outreach, service to the profession of psychology, and consultation to the community at large. The Centre is the testing site for many advanced degree admission testing.
The Counselling Centre is open Monday-Friday, 9AM to 5PM. With the exception of special tests, admission testing, and UCC 2020, all services are free to registered students.
Appointments can be made in person or by telephone, 864-8874. Appointments can not be made via email.
