While this organization is directed by a member of the Minnesota State University Association of Administrative and Service Faculty, CRS is officially a faculty unit with professional staff affiliated with the Inter-Faculty Organization. Eligibility for Service Currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students are the primary client system for Counseling and Related Services. Individual and group counseling are offered to this group at no cost. While SCSU staff and faculty are encouraged to consult with the professional staff in CRS, the provision of clinical services to this group will be secondary and dependent on available resources. Referral to an appropriate agency or practitioner is not an available option.
Financial constraints make the client's use of alternative resources impossible.
An ethical justification for seeing the client in the Center must exist in all cases. Additionally, licensed psychologists are regulated by the Minnesota Board of Psychology. Clients Records Professional staff members are responsible for the maintenance, use, and security of counseling records and client information. Records will be maintained in accordance with professional standards and with the primary goal of best serving the interests of the client. Client records will include the contents of the client folder, the appointment data card and the back-up locator card.
