Student Success Center

Counseling and Consultation Service

Disability Support Services will work collaboratively with you as you develop independence and self-advocacy, as well as create your network of resources. Disability Support Services will provide honest and supportive feedback to you throughout your journey at the university. It starts with assisting you in the transition to university life, which may require relinquishing preconceived ideas about learning, academic pursuits and accommodations. You will learn to navigate the multiple complex systems within the campus community and serve as your own disability advocate. The more you invest, the more you will gain.

Here are a few examples of concerns for which students seek assistance:

  • Personal Concerns: anxiety/panic attacks, loneliness, depression, anger, guilt, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, self-injury. Tension/Stress Management: insomnia/sleep hygiene, coping skills, relaxation techniques, and academic concerns (test anxiety, poor study habits or performance).
  • Relationship Concerns: Roommate problems, social skills, communication in relationships, understanding personality type (introversion/extroversion) in relationship to others
  • Developmental Concerns: ADHD/Learning disorders, adjustment to environmental changes, eating disorders, grief, crisis pregnancy, identity and spiritual concerns
  • Students in need of drug or alcohol prevention materials and/or treatment may visit (https://www.samhsa.gov/programs).
  • The counselor is able to provide referrals as appropriate and a safe haven for any students desiring help without academic/residential sanctions. More information is available in the University Student Handbook.
