Counseling ServicesUniversity life can be one of excitement and self-discovery. At the same time, it can generate academic, emotional, personal, social, and even financial concerns. Although not uncommon, at times these concerns can make it difficult to succeed or function while at school. Counseling is an excellent way to address such issues, to learn more about yourself and others, to develop new life skills, and to explore and gain insight, understanding and acceptance.
Career Assessment and CounselingMany students at RIT change their major after arriving at college. For some, this process is clear and quite effortless. For others, it can be a difficult process involving a lot of questions and exploration. Some students may also have academic difficulty in their chosen major, be interested in plotting their next coop job or permanent placement, or have questions about graduate school application and selection processes.
Scope of ServicesRIT's Counseling Center is structured to provide short term, time-limited counseling. The duration of treatment varies according to students' needs, but counselors work to provide relatively brief treatment in order to facilitate adjustment, successful functioning, problem resolution, and symptom relief as soon as possible.
Consultation ServicesFaculty, staff and family members are often in a unique position to assist students in distress. Unfortunately, many students fail to get the professional help they need. The Counseling Center staff welcomes the opportunity to consult with families or members of the campus community to assist you in your work and interactions with students.
