Summer Quarter 2024 Service Update:
Counselors will offer limited services throughout the summer quarter and will return to full staffing the third week of September. Due to limited staffing, career counseling services will not be offered, with service emphasis placed on academic and crisis counseling needs. Requests for consultation and/or counseling appointments should be sent to southcounseling@seattlecolleges.edu.
College employees supporting students in crisis and not able to connect with a counselor should consult with their supervisors for immediate needs. Students threatening self-harm or harm to others need immediate crisis support. Please call 988 or 911 in these situations and follow up with campus security at 206-235-0911.
