36-37 Student Counseling UNYP is pleased to offer its students a range of services to help them as they persue their degrees. The center is available to all students to assist in any problems or issues regarding their academic as well as personal well-being. The counseling center can assist you in managing your adjustment to college life, as well as help you with career planning, time management, study skills or presentation anxiety. The center also serves as a contact point for issues regarding the university's sexual harassment and anti-discrimination policies. We are also here to help with issues from your personal life such as drug or alcohol problems, eating disorders, anxiety, depression or any other type of mental health concerns. The counseling center provides students with referals to our network of clinical psychologists who specialize in helping students overcome these difficulties. All records and counseling services are kept in complete confidentiality, and information about the student will never be released without their written consent (except when prohibited by law or in life or death cases). All initial consultations are free of charge for UNYP students. English as a Second Language Program Students who do not meet the TOEFL criteria for admission may enroll in a number of English language classes and a limited academic program depending on his/her TOEFL score and placement essay. The goals of the intensive English language courses are to develop English writing, speaking, and listening skills needed to succeed in an academic environment in which all teaching is done in English. Students will develop academic skills that will enable them to: Effectively and critically analyze academic texts Understand the importance and necessity of effective study skills Improve lecture note-taking skills Write effectively in an academic tone Build their vocabulary Improve their TOEFL scores. These English language classes do not count towards the number of credits a student needs to complete a degree. Rather, they are designed to improve students' English language abilities so that they may enroll in at least five courses in their study program and complete these courses satisfactorily. Library Resources The UNYP library is located on the first floor of the main building and has multiple copies of textbooks for all courses taught, as well as a general collection which consists of select titles in the fields taught at the university.
