Purpose
The Student Guidance Policy describes the opportunities available to Diagnostic Cytology students who are in need of guidance or counseling.
Policy
Providing a quality education and initiating a successful career as a cytologist are goals of the Diagnostic Cytology Program. Acquiring the knowledge necessary to perform cytologic evaluations is essential. Guidance is available to assist students in understanding course content and in observing program policies and practices. All faculty and staff in the Diagnostic Cytology Program will provide additional individual help and consultation when requested.
When problems occur that interfere with a student’s progress in the program, a conference may be requested with or initiated by the Program Director.
Counseling is available to UNMC students through the Student Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Services are available on either a walk-in or appointment basis. All services are free of charge and are strictly confidential. Students can contact the center by calling (402) 559-7276.
ADA Accommodations
The University of Nebraska Medical Center takes pride in its diverse population and is committed to providing all students the opportunity to take full advantage of its programs and facilities. In keeping with this philosophy, UNMC strives to eliminate architectural and programmatic barriers that may prevent qualified students with disabilities from obtaining an academic or professional degree. The Accessibility Services Center (ASC) provides reasonable accommodations (e.g., auxiliary aids and services or academic adjustments) to students with disabilities and/or medical conditions an equal opportunity to participate in academic programs and to promote and facilitate the integration of students with disabilities into the mainstream of university academic life. Students in need of accommodation should reach out to the ASC as soon as possible to initiate the request, as accommodation is not retroactive in nature. However, the accountability and responsibility of accommodations is shared among faculty, students, administrators, and staff. Reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities are designed to provide equal access in a manner that does not compromise essential elements of academic programs.
