University Counseling and Testing Center
Many
important decisions and challenging situations will confront students
while they are at Western Michigan University. They will need
to make decisions regarding courses, curricula, and career planning.
They may become involved in social and personal situations that
leave them feeling confused and upset. In addition, it may be
likely that the inherent stresses of university life will, at
some time, interfere with academic achievement and personal growth.
The University Counseling and Testing Center, as a department
within the Division of Student Affairs, exists to help students
deal effectively with such concerns. The Center is staffed with
professionally licensed counselors and psychologists and is accredited
by the International Association of Counseling Services. Counseling
assistance is available free of charge to all actively enrolled
students at Western Michigan University.
