Although e-mail has become a major means of communication between students, staff members of the Rutgers College Counseling Center believe it has significant limitations.

1.   E-mail can not guarantee privacy of communications. Administrators of the system and experienced computer users are able to monitor e-mail, so confidentiality can not be assumed.
2.   Although e-mail may seem like the fastest way to contact someone at the Counseling Center, in fact the frequency with which we check e-mail varies a great deal. Absence from the office, a busy schedule, or difficulty getting online may mean that several days may go by before a message is received. Please call the office (732-932-7884) instead of using e-mail if your message is time-critical.
3.   We can't do personal counseling through e-mail. If you want to receive counseling, please call or visit our offices to make an appointment with a counselor.
