Contacting CSDC via E-mail

The CSDC staff believes that e-mail is not an appropriate medium for personal counseling or for responding to crisis situations.   Responses may not be timely, because a staff member may be out of the office or otherwise unavailable to respond.   Also, confidentiality can not be guaranteed when communicating via e-mail.   Furthermore, the university administration, like many other employers, reserves the right to monitor our e-mailusage and might therefore see the text of messages.

If you have a question of a general nature, regarding personal or academic issues, you can submit it through our on-line Question-Answer column, Barb Wired.

If you are an NIU student seeking counseling or assistance with a problem, please call 753-1206 to make an appointment with one of our counselors.

If you are experiencing a crisis, a CSDC staff member is available to assist you from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.  The on-call counselor may be reached after-hours by calling the NIU Police at 753-1212.  Please call now if you are experiencing an emergency.  

Thank you.
