GETTING STARTED AT THE COUNSELING CENTER
Welcome to the Counseling Center website! We are here to assist students in addressing and resolving personal issues so they can make the most of their educational opportunities at the University. In order to receive services at the Counseling Center, you must be a registered UC student. Follow the steps listed below to get started.
● Look over our website to see the services we offer students and our Fees and Insurance policy.
● Schedule your Brief Assessment and Consultation (BAC). You can call us at 513-556-0648, or you can come to our office at 1216 Crosley Tower M-F 8a-12p and 1p-4p to schedule your appointment. The BAC is conducted by phone.
● At the end of your BAC, the counselor will schedule your Intake Interview. Prior to your intake appointment, you can download all of the forms below (1-4 must be completed, 5 is completed ONLY if you want us to communicate or provide records to anyone, the rest are informational). Bring all of the forms with you to your intake interview. If you have any questions/concerns about the forms or information requested, you can discuss it with the counselor at your appointment. The administrative staff at the front desk can answer any questions you may have about our fees, insurance, and payments. If you prefer, you may fill out the forms at our office when you come for your intake interview; please come 15 minutes early if you choose this option.
●If you have insurance other than UC Student Health Insurance, please bring your insurance card to your Intake Interview. We need to make a copy so we can verify your coverage; this will help us determine your co-pay amount.
