Student Health Insurance Prior to the start of each academic year, all Joint Program students are required to either: 1. Enroll in the Columbia Plan by completing the JTS Student Health Insurance Enrollment Form. OR 2. Waive out of Student Health Insurance as a result of comparable coverage by completing the JTS Student Health Insurance Waiver Form. Please see the rules of comparable coverage listed on the JTS Student Health Insurance Waiver Form prior to completing the form. Please note that full-time (9 credits or more) and residential students may choose to waive out of the Basic/Comprehensive level of the Columbia Plan if their health insurance meets the requirements listed. However, those students will still be required to pay the Columbia Health Program fee which allows access to the program’s primary care, women’s health, mental health counseling and wellness programs. The Office of Human Resources distributes the Student Health Insurance Enrollment/Waiver Forms prior to the start of the academic year. Applicable forms will be posted on the JTS Student Health Insurance Website. Please be sure to complete the 2013-2014 Student Health Insurance Enrollment or Waiver Form.

Counseling Services JTS Counseling Center Brush 404, Box 105 (212) 280-6161, counseling@jtsa.edu, www.jtsa.edu/counseling David Davar, PhD, Director Does JTS offer counseling services? The JTS Counseling Center provides free services to all JTS students while adhering to strict standards of confidentiality. It is a place where your son or daughter can find someone to talk to if he or she is feeling hopeless, lonely, depressed, confused, upset over a relationship, or just plain stressed. No problem is too big or too small to bring to our professional team of psychologists and social workers. We offer individual counseling, couples counseling, group counseling, and consultation services to all JTS students. Career interest testing to help students decide on their professional direction and a limited number of personal coaching sessions are also available. The Counseling Center staff will work with a student to decide the best course of action, which might include short-term counseling. When appropriate, referrals are made to a psychiatrist, private therapist, or agency. Students come to us for many different reasons, including difficulties adjusting to undergraduate and graduate life; perfectionism; relationship issues; roommate conflicts; stress management; difficulty managing the academic workload; grief counseling; family problems; issues of sexual identity and orientation; concerns over body weight and eating habits; depression; anxiety; and panic attacks. The staff is also available to help students with concerns unique to their JTS experience. Students may arrange to meet with Counseling Center staff by emailing counseling@jtsa.edu, or by calling Dr. Davar at x6161 from within JTS or at (212) 280-6161. Back to top 26
