Algonquin College services for everyday student life

Posted on Thursday, August 18th, 2022

The fall semester is fast approaching — equal parts excitement and apprehension fill the air. To curb back-to-school woes, we’ve compiled a list of every day support services for new and returning students to ensure anxiousness doesn’t overtake the excitement of bounding back into campus life.

Feeling under the weather? Want to get your flu shot? Head over to Algonquin College’s Health Services team in Room C141 on the Ottawa Campus (first floor of C Building) to learn more about the services that the Algonquin College health team offers or call 613-727-4723 ext. 7222 to book an appointment. If you are a new student, please complete the patient registration and consent form prior to booking an appointment, https://ocean.cognisantmd.com/intake/IntakePortal.html?eReqRef=cbf318d6-6f78-49cf-8a99-3af1435afdd3.

Of course, we can’t forget about those pearly whites! Algonquin College’s dental clinic preforms a full range of preventative and restorative dental services to keep your teeth healthy all semester long. Call 613-727-4723 ext. 7630 or email dentalclinic@algonquincollege.com to book your appointment today.

When it comes to a successful campus life, mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. Algonquin College’s counselling services team will ensure you have the support you need to lead a happy, healthy student life. Learn more about the counselling services that Algonquin College offers at https://www.algonquincollege.com/counselling/. Call 613-727-4723 ext. 7200 or email welcomecentre@algonquincollege.com to book an appointment today.

Another way to keep your mental wellness in check this semester is by staying active. Did you know that as an Algonquin College student you have full access to the Jack Doyle Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC)? Recharge with a game of bowling amongst friends or climb to new heights on the rock-climbing wall — AC’s ARC has everything you need to stay active and healthy all year long. Learn more about what AC’s ARC has to offer, https://www.algonquinsa.com/athletics/arc/.

After you’ve hit the gym, head over to our AC Student Massage Clinic to unwind. A student massage therapist will spend time interviewing, assessing, and negotiating a treatment plan suitable for the day’s massage. Every session lasts roughly 75 minutes and provides a relaxing experience sure to clear your mind and help you get you back to the books feeling refreshed. Fill out the clinic’s contact form to book your appointment today, https://www.algonquincollege.com/massage-clinic/home/contact/.

Your physical and mental wellness aren’t the only areas that Algonquin College has covered. Algonquin College’s Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL) is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible campus. CAL provides support to students with visible and non-visible disabilities who self-identify through accessibility, advocacy, accommodation, and awareness. CAL is Here2Help — register with CAL today to access resources and services that can help you excel: https://www.algonquincollege.com/cal/register/register-ottawa-aconline/.
