How to Schedule an Appointment
A student can schedule an appointment with a counselor by calling or stopping by the office during office hours. Services are available to enrolled UT Arlington students at no charge. Your student activity fees help support our services and programs.
For best results, don't wait until the last minute to talk to a counselor about what is concerning you. Schedule an appointment as soon as possible. The counseling staff at UT Arlington looks forward to working with you and supporting your efforts to become a successful student.
Walk in Policy
A walk-in counselor is available each day during regular hours to handle concerns on a first-come, first-served basis. This service is designed primarily for students who have not yet begun working with a counselor. Once the counseling process is begun, students are encouraged to work with your counselor to schedule any follow-up visits.
What to Expect
- The first appointment is a consultation which generally lasts 1 hour
- Students complete the initial paperwork
- Counselors conduct a holistic assessment and assist students in evaluating their concerns
- Students and counselors identify treatment goals
- Students may be scheduled for weekly or bi-weekly 50 minute counseling sessions
Emergencies
Any student with an urgent situation will be given first priority in seeing a counselor. We appreciate your understanding if your session (either by appointment or walk-in) is rescheduled due to an emergency.
