Admissions counseling provides academic and career guidance, as well as helps students to connect with on-campus and community resources. Students are assigned a support team member who serves as the primary point of contact for their program. Team members are also cross-trained to provide the assistance needed to students in all program areas.
For personal and crisis counseling, Blue Ridge offers anonymous and free services through TalkCampus and BetterHelp. Students interested in getting a referral for free counseling through BetterHelp should email: access@blueridge.edu.
