Due to the nature of back-and-forth email communication and possible delay in response, appointment times offered via email cannot be guaranteed. The most efficient way to secure an appointment time is to call us during our regular office hours.

What to expect
Your first appointment will begin with a brief online questionnaire, followed by a 20 minute screening with a counselor or psychologist.

They will help assess the nature and urgency of your concern and determine the next appropriate step, such as scheduling a regular counseling session and/or a referral to other campus or community resources. Student Well-Being references the Stepped Care Model when determining next steps for each student- learn more here.

By phone or in person, we will ask for some identifying information:

  • Name
  • Student ID number
  • Phone number
  • Email address

The support staff at the front desk will work with you to schedule a mutually convenient time to meet.

Student Well-Being support staff and counselors.

All appointment information is confidential. 

It is crucial that you notify Student Well-Being if you are unable to keep an appointment. The support staff at the front desk can assist you in rescheduling appointments, either in person or over the phone.

If you miss your appointment and do not notify Student Well-Being, or if less than 24 hours is given, a $10 ‘student affairs fee’ may be applied to Joe’SS. This fee is applied at the discretion of the office.

After your appointment has been scheduled, we will ask you to complete online forms. Completing these forms prior to your session will help your counselor better support you. You will receive an email with instructions on which forms to complete:

  1. Connect to the S&T Wi-Fi or connect and turn on S&T’s VPN or OpenVPN (Virtual Private Network) on your device. Note: campus housing Wi-Fi is not considered S&T Wi-Fi for the purposes of accessing our forms.
    • Click here for instructions on how to install and connect to the VPN. If you are unable to access the VPN, please reply to the email for alternative options to complete the form(s).
  2. Open a web browser and type http://131.151.57.154/TitaniumWeb/ in the URL bar or click this link.
  3. Complete the forms listed in the email sent to you.

You may follow along with this video for step-by-step instructions on accessing our forms. If you continue to have technical difficulties accessing or completing the form(s), please let us know by responding to the email sent to you.

Confidentiality

Our counseling staff members and their direct support staff (i.e. front desk) are legally and ethically required to maintain confidentiality. They are NOT Mandated Reporters. This means they are NOT required to promptly report any details they possess in relation to a Title IX or Equity policy violation. Learn more about mandated reporters on the Title IX website. If you would like us to disclose specific information to anyone (e.g. a professor or doctor), we will need your written permission to do so.
