About University Counseling Services
The college years mark a time when students face new challenges and undergo significant personal and social changes that can affect their academic performance, career plans, personal lives or their relationships. Understanding and adjusting to these challenges and changes is not always easy, and students often seek help from others. University Counseling Services (UCS),
part of the Division of Student Affairs, offers help to students who experience a variety of difficult personal and interpersonal challenges. Our office is staffed with psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors and doctoral level counseling trainees who specialize in helping students adjust to these changes and to college life in general.
Who is Eligible for UCS Services?
UCS provides services to students enrolled in the University's undergraduate, graduate and professional schools, and to students in the University Circle institutions - Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland Institute of Music, and Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. Spouses and partners of students are also eligible for couples counseling with the enrolled student.
