Policy

It is the policy of the College of Nursing to support the emotional well being of nursing students. Students with psychological, emotional, or behavioral problem(s) may seek assistance from Student Counseling Services or other appropriate counseling services at any time. When students exhibit signs of psychological, emotional, or behavioral problem(s) which pose a danger to self or others, or which interfere with the student’s ability to continue in the program, the College may require mandatory assessment, treatment, and/or aftercare for the student.
