How to Access the Service

Students can book appointments directly through the UPRL Student Portal under Student Services › Health & Wellbeing, by emailing wellness@uprl.edu.ng, or by visiting the Student Health and Wellness Centre on campus during opening hours.

All sessions are strictly confidential and subject to professional ethical standards. No information shared in counselling will be disclosed to academic or administrative staff without the student’s explicit consent, except in cases of imminent risk to life.

Your wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at UPRL. You are never alone.
