Student Support Services
Our support areas offer in-person appointments and provide service in alternative formats such as by phone, email, and video conferencing. Most services will operate from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., unless appointments are made outside these hours. Western is closed Fridays in June and July so all services will be closed then. You’re encouraged to call ahead and make an appointment before coming to campus.
