COVID-19 Support Resources
Student Affairs is here to support you. Although we may not be able to meet in-person and support you fully, we are prepared to virtually support you as we are able for as long as COVID-19 distances us. Below is a list of resources for your use. Do not hesitate to reach out.
Here are some highlighted resources for your use. In addition, all of our Student Affairs resources are listed in the table below.
COUNSELING CENTER
Current clients who have an upcoming individual appointment, you should receive email communication from your counselor with instructions. If you have not heard from your counselor, please email them or call them at 217-333-3704. Students who are not current clients, if you want to speak with a Counseling Center clinician, please call 217-333-3704 to set up a phone consultation. Students who have United Healthcare through the university may also access online counseling via http://telehelp4students.com. If you access this site through your UnitedHealthcare app, you can bypass the necessary insurance information requirement. If you need help, contact customer service at 217-333-0165 or email insure@illinois.edu.
