Students and part-time employees can go to NCTC’s TimelyCare page to learn more and/or to activate their free account with their NCTC email address from any web-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC). From there you will be able to begin using services by phone or video chat/call. Check out this quick, handy TimelyCare video to guide you through registering and accessing free telehealth services!

TimelyCare physicians will virtually assess symptoms and administer frontline care in a contained environment to limit the spread of illness. They will also give recommendations on need for testing vs. self-quarantine, and where to go if testing or further care is needed.

Our physicians, counselors and health coaches can treat most common, non-emergent conditions, and after talking to you, will decide on the best course of treatment.

Yes, if the provider deems it clinically appropriate. Referrals may also be made for psychiatric services.

Yes, Dual Credit students are able to access all the same features of TimelyCare that other students are able to access. If a student is under 18 years of age, however, they would need to call the TimelyCare support line (833-4-TIMELY) with their parent/guardian so they can complete a Minor Consent Form. An account will be created for the parent/guardian that shares credentials with the student. Once the student turns 18, the student will be able to create their own account.
