Academic and Personal Counseling Services
Academic counseling is invaluable in helping students to understand and adjust to the culture of higher education. It can be used at any time during a student's career. This service enables students to become wise consumers by facilitating choice of major, understanding academic requirements, planning and problem solving, as well as connecting to other resources, both on and off campus. Academic counseling is provided by trained professionals and coordinated with faculty advising.
Students are offered confidential, personal counseling services with professional counselors at no charge. Counseling is for students who are making difficult personal choices, going through periods of transition, and/or seeking to change behaviors and/or improving other decision making skills. The staff at the counseling center are highly-trained and committed to promoting the academic, personal, and interpersonal development of Chadron State's students. Counseling can build self-understanding and enhance the ability to make responsible and healthy academic and personal life choices.
Disability Services
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitations Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Chadron State College is committed to providing learning opportunities for all students so they may achieve their academic potential. The goal of Disability Services is to provide a learning environment with as equal access as possible. Reasonable accommodations may be provided to enable students with disabilities (learning, ADD, ADHD, physical and/or psychological) to learn, to receive information, and to demonstrate learned information. The accommodation process is an interactive one and requires full participation of the student.
Students requiring reasonable accommodations to ensure success need to submit, through a qualified health professional, documentation verifying the student's disability to the Counseling Services. Applicable diagnosis and a description of the impact of the disability on academic performance is required within the documentation to support the need for the requested accommodations. The College reserves the right to have the documentation reviewed by appropriate professionals and to request additional evaluation to gain supplemental information necessary to ensure the appropriate accommodations are requested and available.
Students are encouraged and supported in understanding their disabilities and in expressing any subsequent needs to their professors.
