The Counseling Center was established by St. Olaf College to enhance the personal growth and development of its students. We support students in their academic pursuits and facilitate personal and interpersonal learning and growth. Our programs are preventive as well as remedial. We offer a variety of services and programs, including individual counseling, group counseling, workshops, testing, consultation and referrals. Services are provided without cost to all currently enrolled St. Olaf students, and we follow the ethical and confidentiality guidelines of the Minnesota Board of Psychology.

The Dean of Students Office coordinates and directs services and programs that help students take full advantage of their St. Olaf experience — inside and outside the classroom.  The deans serve as consultants to individual students and student groups about student issues and concerns, including personal and academic matters. Questions or concerns about policies, procedures or problems are encouraged. If you need assistance in resolving a college issue or are unsure about where you can go to get assistance, the Dean of Students Office is a good starting place.
