The Counseling Center provides brief
counseling and more intensive psychotherapy
to all New Jersey City University students.
The Center was established to offer
support and assistance to those individuals
experiencing minor situational difficulties
or major emotional conflicts. All services
are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL and no
information is released to anyone without
the student’s written consent, unless a threat
of safety to self or another exists.
All decisions are made by the students
with the counselors serving as catalysts for
students to view their situations as objectively
and clearly as possible. Counseling
sessions explore such topics as: adjustment
to the University; note taking, study, and
test taking skills; anxiety, tension, and depression;
relationship and family concerns;
substance abuse; education and life options;
insecurity; and assertiveness. In addition,
the Counseling Center staff is available for a
variety of consultative tasks; offers numerous
groups and theme-oriented workshops;
provides learning and study strategies and
vocational interest testing.
Appointments are made by calling (201-
200-3165) or stopping by the Counseling
Center. The Center is open Monday
through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and
evening hours are available by appointment.

The NJCU Health & Wellness Center
(HWC) is an outpatient facility providing
FREE and CONFIDENTIAL health
care services for our students. The HWC is
staffed by registered nurses and is open 12
months a year. The University physician is
available part-time for students during the
fall and spring semesters only. A monthly
schedule of Doctor’s Hours is available at
the HWC and in various locations across
campus. Bills for outside lab tests, x-rays,
and prescriptions are the sole responsibility
of the student.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The medical records and health care transactions
of all patients including immunization
records are maintained in a confidential
manner and cannot be released to
another party without the patient’s written
authorization.
ENTRANCE HEALTH &
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
In addition to providing health care, the
HWC oversees the University’s health
requirements for all entering students. Each
New Jersey City University student MUST
submit an Entrance Health Form. This
information is used to establish a student’s
medical file and documents compliance
with state immunization regulations. New
Jersey State Law requires all students, both
undergraduate and graduate, to comply
with current immunization regulations by
submitting proof of immunization, immunity,
or filing a valid exemption. Detailed
information about the required immunizations
or valid exemptions can be found on
page 3 and 4 of the Entrance Health Form
which can be obtained at Admissions, the
HWC office, or from our web page. Failure
to comply will result in a “hold” being
placed on all future registration as well as
blocking eligibility for campus housing.
OTHER IMMUNIZATION OR
HEALTH TESTS
NJCU reserves the right to require additional
immunizations or health tests as
dictated by current public health concerns
