💻 Support for Online & Off-Campus Students

At Spring Hill College, we are committed to supporting the success and well-being of all students—whether you attend classes on campus or are enrolled in an online program. Our full range of student support services and resources is available to every Badger, regardless of location. This includes access to academic support, career development, library services, and campus ministry.

Online students can connect with our staff through virtual appointments and participate in wellness workshops designed to promote personal growth and connection. Counseling & Wellness Services (CWS) also offers virtual counseling appointments; however, due to licensure regulations, we are only able to provide clinical counseling services to students who are physically located in the state of Alabama at the time of the session.

For students residing outside of Alabama, CWS is happy to assist by providing referrals to counseling services in their local area. We believe that every student deserves a meaningful, connected experience, and we are here to ensure you feel supported throughout your Spring Hill journey—wherever you are.
