Services and Support in Isolation

We know COVID 19 isolation can be stressful, so we want to make sure you are aware of all of the ways you can access support from Skidmore. Please know that we appreciate your careful and responsible actions as they help protect our community.

Academic support
  • If you would like academic support during this time, you can contact Student Academic Services (SAS) at sas@skidmore.edu. Staff can help you with time management and study skills as well as connect you with peer tutoring.
Medical Services and Logistical Questions
  • If you have questions or concerns about symptoms that you might be experiencing, call Health Services at 518-580-5550 or submit an appointment request.
  • If you have logistical questions, practical needs or need to touch base about something related to your isolation support, please reach out to the Skidmore COVID Support Team at covidsupport@skidmore.edu.
Mail
  • If you need mail or package pick-up from the post office, you may have a friend pick it up and drop it outside your door. When your package has arrived, email pick up permission to: postoffice@skidmore.edu.  In the email, indicate who (first and last name) will be picking up the package.
Mental Health & Spiritual Care
  • The Counseling Center is available for remote therapy appointments, which can be scheduled by calling their main number: (518) 580-5555. They also have a large number of self-help and self-care resources on their website: www.skidmore.edu/counseling.
  • Emergency mental health assistance is available 24/7 by calling the Center’s main number and choosing the appropriate option from the prompts.
  • The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life is also available to provide support. If you’d like to speak to someone in that office, simply call (518) 580-8340 or email Parker Diggory at kdiggory@skidmore.edu.
Facilities
  • Please be aware that Facilities cannot enter a space where individuals are isolating.
  • If you are on campus and your housing requires emergency repairs (overflowing toilet, no heat), please contact Campus Safety for next steps.
