Appointments should be made in advance. See information about same-day appointment availability below.

Email and/or text reminders about your appointment are sent to you in advance. Please ensure that we have your correct email address and mobile phone number.
Same-day appointments
We are not a walk-in facility, however, we have limited same-day appointments for
acute illnesses, injuries or mental health needs are available on a first-come, first-served
basis, Monday-Friday, please call 907-474-7043 to schedule these appointments by 8:30
am the day of the appointment, we do not open these slots until the day of the appointment.
Please be specific about your problem and its severity so we can ensure enough time
for you and our staff. Our offices are open from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
After-hours services
The UAF Student Health and Counseling Center now offers after-hours mental health services for students who need immediate mental health care.
Late policy
We understand that things come up from time to time, but as a courtesy to other students and in an effort to keep our staff from running behind schedule, we have the following late policy:
- Students who are 15 minutes late for a medical appointment will be rescheduled.
- Students who are 15 minutes or more late for counseling appointments will have to reschedule their appointments and may be charged a $25 no-show fee.
No-show policy
Failure to cancel or reschedule an appointment will result in a no-show fee of $25.00 being assessed to your student acount at the Bursar's Office. Students can cancel appointments by calling us 907-474-7043, by emailing us uaf-sh-cc@alaska.edu or by cancelling throught the SHCC Patient Portal .
When you cancel in advance, it opens up this valuable time slot, allowing us to offer that time to another student who may really need a same day appointment. We appreciate having those openings and appreciate your consideration to your fellow students.
