The on-campus Counseling and Testing Center offers professional psychological counseling, therapy and testing without charge to any student enrolled for credit at the University. Stress management, development of effective study habits, identification of learning disabilities and dealing with interpersonal problems are just a few of the special areas handled by center staff. The University Center for Child Development is staffed by trained teachers and aides. Students with children needing care during classes or study time are eligible for this service at a nominal tuition. During the summer, children who are graduates of kindergarten through third grade are eligible.
Registration is handled on a per semester basis.
