Welcome
Coronavirus information
Welcome to the Fall Semester!!
We’re still here for you!
At Student Health and Counseling we are taking safety measures and precautions to
help protect the health and well-being of our employees, students, and the UAF community
during the COVID-19 outbreak. Information regarding appointments are listed below.
Our Fall semester hours begin Monday, August 3.
Our hours: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Mon, Tues, Thu, and Fri
10:00 am -4:30 pm Wed
Closed on weekends and UAF Holidays.
Change in Entrances:
Student Health and Counseling has limited the entrance to our facility to the door
on the back side of the building by the Fire dept. so anyone needing special accessibility (wheel chair, crutches, etc. ) to the facility
can enter. When you enter the facility, there will be a Medical Assistant greeting
you to take your temperature and provide instruction to you depending on your appointment
type.
The entrance on the front side of the building by the Police dept. is closed.
For medical appointments:
It is recommended for students to call SHCC via telephone, 907-474-7043, at which
point, you will be screened for recent travel and other symptoms such as fever, cough
and/or shortness of breath. Medical providers will be able to give proper guidance
on next steps during this telephone screening time. We will be seeing students for
general visits as well.
For counseling appointments:
We will be providing telehealth services for students via SecureVideo beginning on Monday, August 17th. If you currently do not have an appointment, we ask that you call via telephone in order to schedule. As your appointment day gets closer, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to access the video session.
We understand that this is a very stressful time. We are working to ensure we can
continue to offer support for those who want it.
