Now Introducing TELUS!
Scope of Care
The Student Counseling Center provides short-term counseling and consultation to students who are experiencing emotional and psychological problems that are interfering with their ability to be successful in school. Our purpose is not to provide intense treatment for severe, chronic, or long-term mental illness or mental health problems.
Emotional Support Animal Notice
The Student Counseling Center does not employ accommodation specialists and therefore does not provide letters regarding academic or living accommodations (e.g, pet and /or emotional support animals, special allowances for classes, etc.). Requests for accommodations should be directed to Student Disability Services. The Student Counseling Center does not provide assessment and/or documentation related to Emotional Support Animal accommodations for either off campus or on campus housing. Per University policy, Emotional Support Animals are only permitted in residence halls. They are not permitted in any other building on campus, including the Student Wellness Center.
