The centre offers services to students in person, via telephone and virtually. Calls from your clinician will usually appear on your device as a "blocked call" or "unknown caller". Failure to answer the call will result in a missed physician appointment charge.

If you are attending an appointment in person, please note that masks are mandatory. Some exemptions may apply. For more information, please contact us.
