How much will services cost?
Counselling sessions are free to current NAIT students.
When should I arrive for my appointment?
It is best to arrive 5 to 10 minutes in advance of your appointment in order to give the receptionist time to pull your file and/or to fill out any necessary forms. Please note that if you arrive more than 15 minutes late your appointment may be re-assigned.
Student Counselling is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can book an appointment in person at W111PB, HP Centre, by phone 780.378.6133, or by email at ssd@nait.ca.
If your concerns require immediate assistance you will be seen by the first available counsellor.
Student Counselling offers students the chance to talk about concerns in confidence with an understanding and qualified professional. Counselling is a process of talking, listening and putting into action solutions to your problems. A counselling session is usually 50 minutes.
Please phone Student Counselling at 780.378.6133 as soon as you know you will be unable to attend. Often other students are waiting to book appointments and your cancellation frees up a spot for them.
During your counselling session, you have the right to know the counsellor's qualifications, and information about support services available.
