Social and Legal Counseling
Social and legal counseling is intended for students who find themselves in a difficult life situation. We provide basic and specialist advice and assistance in solving problems with a legal aspect. We help students navigate the financial and practical issues associated with studying and provide contacts to support services.
The Social and legal counseling services are provided free of charge and independently of other UO departments. Your personal data and the information you provide are confidential to us and we do not share them with anyone outside the Counseling and Career Centre.
