University Health Services (UHS) offers a range of assistance to students who have experienced a sexual or physical assault.  To access medical care, students may walk in to the Urgent Care unit between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and speak with the triage nurse.  When the UHS is closed, students are encouraged to phone the after hours line, 643-7197, for referral assistance or 911 for a police response and accompaniment to the hospital.  Social Services at UHS offers confidential counseling and support immediately after a sexual assault or at any point that the survivor is ready to seek assistance.  Counselors can also help the student navigate legal options and secure academic accommodations, when needed.  Phone 642-6074 to schedule an urgent appointment.
