SLCC Center for Health & Counseling

Massage books are now open to all SLCC students who are enrolled in spring semester and employees! Massage is a popular service, so don’t wait! 🖤

The CHC bringing back the pre-pay policy for all massage appointments, meaning that you will need to pre-pay for your appointment while scheduling.

No refunds will be given, however, you may call to move or cancel an appointment with more than 24 and hours in advanced. The amount that you pre-paid for your massage appointment can also go towards a counseling or medical appointment, if needed.

We no longer are scheduling massage appointments, two months out. We will only be scheduling massage appointments out one month from the current date. This is to help avoid scheduling appointments that are too far in advance that students forget about the appt.

Only one massage appointment can be made per person at a time. As soon as you use your current massage appointment, you may schedule another one.

We have a wait list that you can be placed on for when an appointment opens up.

For more information on our policies and procedures visit our website at slcc.edu/CHC. 🌿🙂
