On-Campus Crisis Support
MRU Student Counselling On-Call Sessions
Student Counselling Services accommodates students in crisis on weekdays. Please inform the receptionist that you need urgent help.
Student Counselling Services also offers walk-in counselling services for same-day support. We begin booking appointments at our reception desk starting at 12:45 p.m. (Wellness Services U216). The last walk-in appointment is booked by 3:15 p.m. If you are not able to get to the front desk at 12:45 p.m., please call 403.440.6362 to ask if any sessions are available. We will respond to your phone call as soon as we are able.
Please note that walk-in sessions are typically shorter than a regular appointment (lasting approximately 30 minutes) and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Although we create the walk-in schedule with an eye on anticipated need, availability may vary due to circumstances outside of our control. Thank you for your patience as we serve students as best we can.
