Counseling and Health Services and the Coronavirus Outbreak

Counseling and health services is not currently scheduling appointments. We are available by phone or your health portal for care and consultation. We encourage you to send our nurse practitioners or therapists questions, prescription refill requests, or other non-urgent medical or counseling needs via your health portal or by leaving us a voicemail at 978-542-6413. We will be in touch within 1 business day. We are also working with Student Life and Residence Life to support the students who continue to reside in our halls during this time.  

We are taking the next few weeks to work on how best to care for our students in this remote and online learning environment, while also doing our part to maintain social distancing measures to slow the spread of COVID19. We encourage you to check back with us in a few weeks.
