We require you to be up to date on all childhood immunizations, including tetanus. Access your immunization record through the Michigan Immunization Portal.
Counseling and Psychological Services
Our professional, licensed counselors offer an objective, non-judgmental perspective to assist students in overcoming both long-standing and immediate concerns. You can seek counseling for a variety of reasons, but we’re here for whatever your needs are at the time. In addition, walk-in emergency services are available daily if you are in urgent need of help or crisis intervention. You can also arrange for medication management with our doctor of nursing practice (DNP) at Wilcox Health Center.
“Let’s Talk” appointments are a 15-minute meeting with a mental health counselor. These meetings are a chance to talk with counselors without committing to traditional therapy.
All currently enrolled students are eligible for free and confidential therapy and consultation services.

Our local pharmacies are Rite Aid, Meijer, and Walmart. Transportation is available through our local Alma City Dial-a-Ride at (989) 463-6016.
