Getting Started

To connect with EKUCC services, call (859) 622-1303, or stop by the office at Room 571 Whitlock Building to schedule an initial assessment during office hours. Office hours are Mon-Fri 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (Fall and Spring semester hours) and Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (Summer semester hours). EKUCC services are available to currently enrolled EKU students and (during the summer) students that attended EKU in the previous Spring semester, who are also enrolled for the subsequent Fall semester. 

The Eastern Kentucky University Counseling Center (EKUCC) now offers after hours support to an EKU student or any person concerned about an EKU student. This is an extension of EKUCC services and can assist a caller in any mental health crisis situation. When appropriate, EKUCC staff will follow up with the caller on the university’s next business day.

EKUCC After Hours is available weekends, evenings, holidays, and during university closures. This new service augments the existing full spectrum of clinical services provided at the EKU Counseling Center and extends the reach to more students, at critical times after hours when they may need the services.

To access EKUCC After Hours Urgent Support, please call (859) 622-1303.

If you need emergency assistance, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
