Student Accident Insurance
Each year, the Student Government Association (SGA) purchases a student
accident insurance plan, an excess policy that may cover medical expenses
of students caused by accidental bodily injury during college-related
academic and social activities. The provisions governing this policy are
contained in the master policy issued to the school and may be viewed
during the school’s office hours. A brief description of the policy, which
varies from year to year, will be available through the Office of Student
Services at the beginning of each academic year. Students may obtain a
brochure or file a claim with Jean Blue, Administrative Assistant to the
Executive Vice President in Stone Hall, 105A, 695-3702.
Counseling and Career Services
Personal Counseling
Licensed professional counselors are available to assist all enrolled students
with concerns or difficulties they may experience while attending college,
such as developmental or personal issues, mental health concerns, and career
choices. Counseling sessions normally are scheduled by appointment
(although drop-ins are welcome) and may last up to forty-five (45) minutes.
These sessions provide opportunities for students to explore their issues with
a counselor, to share concerns about college life, and to gain important tools
to foster success in an academic environment. The College does not charge
students a fee for counseling sessions or for assessments used in providing
counseling services. Counselors can also refer students who wish to seek
counseling services off-campus to local mental health providers. Counseling
services are found in the Division of Student Services in Blue Hall and Stone
Hall. For additional information, please call 695-3968 or 695-3927.
Career Services
Career development professionals provide counseling and guidance in the
areas of self-awareness, career exploration, job search skills, and
employment opportunities. These services are available to all enrolled
students, alumni, and prospective students of the college. The professional
staff includes a career counselor and the career coordinator. Career Services
