E-Mail Policy

The Counseling Center welcomes your contact. We also respect your privacy. While we welcome your e-mail, we would like you to be aware of the following guidelines so that you may make an informed decision regarding the best way to contact us.

  1. E-mail is not an appropriate medium for personal counseling.  If you are a UMaine student presently utilizing Counseling Center services, or are seeking personal counseling, please contact the Counseling Center by calling 581-1392 or stopping by our office in Cutler Health Center.

  2. If you wish to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please do so by calling us at 581-1392 or stopping by our office in Cutler Health Center.  The Counseling Center is open 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.

  3. Although our staff will take all reasonable measures to keep your e-mail private, we can not guarantee that it will remain confidential.  The University system, like many other campuses, reserves the right to monitor e-mail transmission within its system.  Therefore, a third party within the University system may read the text of your message.  If you are at all concerned that your message may be read by someone other than the person to whom you are sending it, please use an alternate method of contact.

  4. The Counseling Center will respond only to the address from which the e-mail message is sent.  If others utilize that e-mail account, and you are concerned that they might read your message, please utilize a more private account or contact us in a different manner.

  5. While we check our e-mail often, staff absences due to illness, vacation, and other reasons may delay receipt of your message. If you have time concerns, you may wish to consider calling the office instead.

  6. If you are a student in crisis, please contact us by phone.

    Regular Business Hours: 581-1392
    After Hours: Public Safety, 581-4020
    or dial 911
