The primary purpose of the Student Counseling Center is to assist students with emotional, personal, social and academic concerns. In addition, the Center addresses specific student concerns including developmental personal growth, decision making and conflicts within the campus community. Instead, the Center's services are designed to assist students in all areas of personal growth. The Counseling Center encourages the utilization of its services by a broad range of students. These services are provided in a nonjudgmental atmosphere and by professionals who care.
Strict confidentiality is maintained.
Also, the Student Counseling Center is administratively neutral. It is the only unit on campus that is not involved in making admissions, disciplinary, curricular or other administrative decisions. This neutrality is necessary so that students are assured that their self-disclosures will not affect their college careers. Finally, students with some specific psychological concerns may be referred to agencies off campus for counseling.
