Counseling Services<br />
Educational, personal and career counseling is available to UACCM students and prospective students through the Department of Counseling<br />
Services. Counseling Services offers a wide variety of services designed to enhance student learning and overall wellbeing. Professional<br />
therapy is provided (free of charge) to UACCM students and prospective students. Counseling may help students cope more effectively with<br />
many problems that arise in daily life, including some that may interfere with academic progress. Students bring a wide range of issues to<br />
counseling, and anything which is a concern to a student is important. Some experiences frequently brought to counseling include stress,<br />
relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with transitions, and other mental health challenges. The counseling process involves<br />
a relationship between you and a licensed counselor who will help you clarify <strong>your</strong> feelings, make <strong>your</strong> own decisions, and resolve <strong>your</strong><br />
concerns based upon <strong>your</strong> personal values. Appointments may be arranged by calling or visiting Counseling Services; if you have a crisis, no<br />
appointment is necessary.<br />
Disability Services<br />
Reasonable accommodations <strong>for</strong> persons with documented disabilities will be made, pursuant to federal and state law. Any student with a<br />
disability who needs accommodation (e.g. seating, extended time, or alternative testing arrangements) should request the accommodation<br />
at the beginning of the semester or term. The Counseling staff will make the determination regarding appropriate accommodations. It is<br />
the responsibility of the student to provide the necessary documentation to the Counseling staff. It is UACCM’s policy that when UACCM<br />
sponsors events and locations outside of the UACCM campus, the locations to be used will be accessible to and usable by persons with<br />
disabilities.<br />
Financial AiD<br />
A large number of financial aid options are available through the UACCM Financial Aid Office. Students should contact the Financial Aid<br />
Office to see if they qualify <strong>for</strong> financial assistance.<br />
Fitness Center<br />
The Fitness Center is a free service located in the Kirk Building which is available <strong>for</strong> use by students currently enrolled in classes at UACCM,<br />
as well as College employees during posted hours Monday through Friday. Individuals must use all appropriate safety precautions and must<br />
abide by all of the guidelines established <strong>for</strong> use of the facility. Users should be aware that the College does not currently provide dressing<br />
rooms or showers in the area, so use of the equipment should be scheduled with this in mind.<br />
