Preparing for Virtual Mental Health Appointments

Counseling Services uses Zoom as a HIPAA compliant video-conferencing tool. There is no cost to the student to access Zoom. You simply need a device with a camera and secure internet access. To utilize our virtual mental health services, we will also need your permission to contact you via phone and email.

To participate in virtual mental health services with an Elon provider, the student must:

  • be physically located in North Carolina
  • have use of a personal device (laptop, tablet, phone etc.) with a camera
  • have access to a secure internet connection
  • be alone in a private location for appointments

Private Meeting Spaces

Students seeking a private meeting space for virtual mental health appointments are encouraged to request a reservation of available rooms in designated areas across campus including, including but not limited to:

    • Belk Library study rooms
    • Numen Lumen, Room 214
    • Counseling Services flex office

    Please note that these spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis so you should be mindful to secure a space well in advance of the scheduled appointment time.
