Please click here for our Transitional Return to Campus Plan, which provides an overview of the comprehensive planning being undertaken by various departments to gradually resume our on-campus activities. It aims to provide a general planning framework to administrative and academic leaders to achieve a coordinated, coherent, and safe campus reintegration and gradual resumption of in‐person on‐campus activities as early as January, 2022, and in preparation for the 2022-23 Academic Year.

There are no in-person appointments with Counselling Services at this time. However, a Counsellor will be available to talk by phone or video during the day, and the way to access this is to send an email to: welcomecentre@algonquincollege.com. This is not an immediate response service, so it is not for urgent or distress situations. For 24/7 support from a counsellor trained to help Ontario college students, you can call 1-866-925-5454 to connect with Good2Talk (you can also visit them online at good2talk.ca). You can also access a trained crisis counsellor 24/7 through the Ottawa Crisis Line. Call 613-722-6914 or 1-866-966-0991 for support.
Employees who are experiencing stress or are in need of emotional support can call the College’s confidential Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-461-9722. More information on the program can be found on our HR website. Employees have access to a wide range of services, including counselling via telephone, in person, or online sessions, as well as a variety of wellness resources.
