The cost of counselling sessions is covered by your student services fees: you will not be charged for attending a counselling appointment. Certain types of appointments, certain forms requested by third parties, and certain types of documentation are subject to additional fees. Visit our Appointments and Fees page for information about fees for uninsured services.
