Drop-In Telephone Counseling
Counselors are available on a drop-in basis to speak to students by telephone, once
a student signs into Q-Less.
Note: QLess closes when student wait times far exceed counselor availability. Depending
on student wait time, QLess may not reopen for the day.
If accessing the QLess line on your phone, download the QLess app (Android or iOS).
