    Center Services

    Many students encounter a variety of personal, social, career, and academic issues that call for assistance beyond advice provided by friends and family. Fortunately, the Counseling Center provides free and confidential services by professional counselors to all UM students.

    Faculty and staff also are confronted with personal and professional issues. The Counseling Center offers free, one-session consultations with all non-students (faculty, staff, non-campus individuals) to aid in resolving concerns and, if appropriate, providing a set of off-campus referrals in order to treat more in-depth issues. In addition, the Center provides, for a fee, a package of career assessment, interpretation and up to five sessions of counseling. The Counseling Center also serves the campus community through its consultation and outreach services. Learn more




    Students with Disabilities

    Students with disabilities who are seeking accomodations should be getting in touch with the Disability Support Service as soon as possible. You cannot get accomodations until you have registered with DSS.
