This service is available during the afternoons from Monday to Friday, for MRU students only. Call the number below to find out what time walk-in appointments begin on the day you need support. These sessions are shorter than a regular appointment, lasting approximately 30 minutes, and are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis; more urgent concerns will be prioritized.
