After Hours Resources

Cornell recognizes that students will need help "after hours" from time to time. The Counseling Center’s current hours are as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Should you, or a friend, need assistance "after hours" the following resources are available to you:

• Your Resident Assistant (RA) is an excellent resource for assistance. An RA is on duty in residence halls each night. They have access to numerous resources in the Mount Vernon area that could be of use to you.
• Your Division of Student Affairs Staff on Call is also a great resource. Campus Safety will be able to contact the staff member on call.
• Campus Safety can also provide assistance in emergencies and in times when safety is an issue. You can reach Campus Safety by calling x4299 (319-895-4299).

If you need someone to talk to, need information about a support group in Cedar Rapids, or have an emotional crisis, the Foundation 2 Crisis Line is an excellent resource. You can call the crisis line 24-hours a day, seven days a week at (319) 362-2174.
