Boyd Health Services will remain fully operational to walk-in patients with the exception of individuals who present symptoms that include fever, cough or shortness of breath. We ask that students who are experiencing either one of these symptoms or believe they may have been exposed to the coronavirus, please remain at their residence, isolate themselves, and contact our center at (931) 221-7107 or the Tennessee Department of Health at (877) 857-2945 with any questions.

In an effort to limit exposure and to promote the CDC recommendations on social distancing, face-to-face counseling sessions at the Ard building will be limited to remote (phone/video) sessions for the remainder of the semester. Emergency mental health drop-ins will be seen in person during normal business hours, but only to ensure student safety and not as a replacement for treatment that can be conducted remotely.
Students who currently have an appointment scheduled or those who would like to schedule an appointment with one of our counseling staff are encouraged to call our office at (931) 221-6162 for more information.
Emergency mental health calls after hours will continue to go through Public Safety at (931) 221-7786.
