Notice: During peak times, WaitWell will close as scheduled or earlier if capacity is reached.  We appreciate your understanding and encourage early check-in to ensure service availability. Students will have 3 minutes to join their assigned Zoom room after being matched with an advisor; failure to join within this timeframe will result in being marked as a no-show, removed from the queue, and required to rejoin the queue to wait for the next available advisor.

Please see options below to meet with a PSY advisor.
