How can the Counseling Center help if my student is having serious academic problems?
If a serious personal situation is affecting your student’s academic standing or ability to keep pace with his/her course work, the Center staff can serve as a liaison with the academic units in the University (such as deans’ offices, college advisors and faculty members). The Center also handles requests for Medical Leaves of Absence for mental health reasons and requests to return to the university after a medical leave due to mental health reasons. The purpose of a Medical Leave is to allow a student time to recover from medical or mental health problems and, when healthy, return to the university.
