Policies & Procedures
To Make an appointment
The best way to make an appointment is to call (518)-388-6161 and schedule a meeting with a counselor. Usually, meetings are scheduled weekly for one hour duration between 9am-5pm Mon.-Fri. Students may walk in, but counselors may not always be available.
Confidentiality and third party communications
Counseling is confidential within the boundaries of the law. Student's who desire to have confidential records communicated to a third party (other college offices, counselors, parents, etc.) should negotiate the exact nature of the communication and sign a release of information. The Counseling Center will field concerns from third parties (parents, faculty, etc.) regarding a student with a neutral member of the staff so that confidentiality is not breached.
Emergencies
The Counseling Center is involved in mental health related emergencies at the college. If you have a concern about a member of the community, please contact the Counseling Center or the Dean of Students Office. In case of life threatening emergency contact Campus Safety at 518-388-6911.
