Counseling Services
Counseling is available to any WOU student registered for 1+ credits of in-person or Monmouth campus hybrid classes and has been assessed the Student Health Fee. Students taking all online classes may opt-in for the health fee to be assessed to their student account to access services.
All services are confidential and students who have been assessed the health fee have access to unlimited appointments. The health fee is $154 per term.
Same day crisis appointments are available daily and do not require an appointment. If you think you (or a friend) is in crisis, please get to a safe place and call us at (503) 838-8313 or Campus Public Safety (503) 838-9000. All WOU students are able to access crisis services regardless of eligibility.
