Housing Support

If you're facing housing instability or homelessness, our team can work with you one-on-one to find a path forward. Support includes help navigating your housing options, connecting you with programs that can move quickly to get you housed, and ongoing case management so you're not figuring it out alone. Victor Valley College doesn't have on-campus emergency housing, but our team can help you find and access the resources that do exist.

 

Student Expectations & Appointment Guidelines

VVC Wellness Services is committed to providing a welcoming, respectful, and supportive environment. To help ensure timely access and quality services for all students, we ask that students follow these guidelines.

Eligibility for Services

Wellness Services is available to VVC students seeking support with mental health, housing, personal challenges, and overall well-being.

  • General support and resource navigation are available to VVC students.

  • Ongoing services may require verification of active enrollment and attendance during the current academic term.

  • Financial assistance is determined individually based on eligibility, assessed need, and available program funding. Assistance is not guaranteed

Appointments & Attendance

  • Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled appointment.

  • A 10-minute grace period is provided for late arrivals. Arriving beyond this period may require rescheduling.

  • If you cannot attend your appointment, please notify Wellness Services and/or your assigned staff as early as possible.

  • Cancellations made after the scheduled appointment time may be considered a no-show unless otherwise determined by assigned staff or management.

Missed Appointments & Re-engagement

We understand that unexpected circumstances may affect your ability to attend appointments.

  • Students who miss appointments may receive follow-up outreach from Wellness Services.

  • After three unsuccessful outreach attempts or missed appointment opportunities, services may be closed due to non-engagement.

  • Students are welcome to reconnect with Wellness Services when they are ready to resume support.

  • Depending on the services requested and the time since the last appointment, a follow-up or updated assessment may be required.

Participation in Services

Students are encouraged to:

  • Notify staff of changes in contact information, availability, or circumstances that may affect services.

  • Treat staff and fellow students with courtesy and respect.

  • Work collaboratively with staff to identify appropriate resources and next steps.

Dual Individual Therapy Policy: 

VVC Wellness Services offers individual short-term therapy to currently enrolled students. While there are no formal restrictions against receiving therapy from multiple individual providers simultaneously, this practice may introduce challenges such as emotional fatigue, conflicting therapeutic approaches, diminished progress, and potential insurance limitations. Requests for concurrent therapy services will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to the ethical and clinical judgment of the licensed clinician on staff. Approval is not guaranteed and will depend on the best interests of the student and the integrity of the therapeutic process. For questions or to discuss your specific needs, please contact VVC Wellness Services directly.

Privacy & Confidentiality

Wellness Services respects student privacy and maintains confidential service records in accordance with applicable laws and professional standards. Staff will explain confidentiality practices and any legal limits to confidentiality when students begin services.
