- By email: www.bostonconservatory.edu/contact/counseling. NOTE: Please be advised that email is not a secure form of communication and should not be used to discuss a confidential or urgent concern.
- In-person: Students can also stop by one of the counseling offices at any time to ask questions, get information or determine counselors' availability. If the counselor is not available to meet, every effort will be made to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
