For local students who need medical care during the semester break, here are some options:

Before accessing care off-campus, students should be mindful of whether the provider is covered by their insurance plan. 

In case of medical emergency during break, contact 911 and (for on-campus emergencies) contact Campus Safety at 503-768-7777. 

The Counseling Service will be closed beginning Friday, December 19 until Monday, January 12.
 
From January 12-January 16, we will be open for urgent care only, so that students needing crisis counseling or who have urgent needs can be assessed. During the week of January 12, students needing help should contact our desk at 768-7160 to schedule appointments. We will resume our regular operating schedule on Tuesday, January 20.
