Welcome to the University Counseling Center

The University Counseling Center (UCC) provides free, personal counseling services to currently enrolled Western Illinois University undergraduate and graduate students. We also offer virtual counseling. Please call the office at (309) 298-2453 or visit the Patient Portal if you are interested in scheduling an appointment.

Throughout the academic year, the UCC offers the WIU Community a wide array of educational programs such as sexual assault prevention, healthy relationships, relaxation, and other topics.

The counselors hold masters or doctoral degrees and are certified or licensed in counseling or psychology.
