SCU s student body is comprised largely of adults, many of whom are studying by distance learning, therefore they are less interested in student services than traditional students. Faculty and administration with extensive ministerial and counseling backgrounds as well as academic experience are available to the students throughout the year. Individual, premarital and family counseling are available to assist in personal and marital growth as well as to provide support during crises. These services are available through University Counseling Services.
Counseling is available for active students and personnel who formally request appointments.
Tests will be administered by request or when the counselor determines they are necessary. No person affiliated with SCU will be charged for counseling services. Short term or long term therapy is available when required. The University counseling service abides by the Ethics of the Professional Code of the State of Alabama and the civil laws governing counselors. Clients presenting problems beyond the training of the counselor will be referred to more highly trained professionals.
