FAQs

Will my sessions be confidential?

NAIT Student Counselling keeps your sessions private. All records are secure.  

How do I know if I should come for counselling?

NAIT student counsellors are here to help you with personal and academic concerns which may be interfering with your academic success. It may be useful to book an appointment with a NAIT student counsellor if you have any of the following concerns: 

  • Academic performance
  • Poor study skills 
  • Time management 
  • Interpersonal issues
  • Decision-making difficulties
  • Feelings of helplessness or hopelessness
  • Thoughts of suicide or wanting to harm yourself or others

If your concerns are regarding program scheduling or timetabling, please speak with the appropriate program contact. Difficulties with course material should be initially reviewed with the appropriate instructor. Financial concerns may be addressed in Room O111 (South Lobby, Main NAIT Campus). NAIT's Student Recruitment Advisors can provide answers about how to get started at NAIT, and help you plan your NAIT education.

 

How much will counselling services cost?

NAIT 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 locate your file and/or for you to fill out any necessary forms. Please note that if you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may be re-assigned.
