Counseling and Student Services
The College of Law provides academic and career counseling for its students. In addition, the administration and faculty are concerned with the welfare of the student body and often provide informal financial aid counseling as well. The Associate Dean of Students provides assistance with academic problems, leaves of absence, emergency student loans and other problems that may arise during law school.
The College recognizes that the first year can be a stressful time, and, therefore, periodically presents programs designed to help students recognize the symptoms of stress in both themselves and others and to develop strategies to cope with stress.
For persons who require professional assistance, Counseling and Psychological Services at the University Health Center (402/472-7450) maintains a full range of psychological and psychiatric counseling services available to all University students.
The Counseling and School Psychology Clinic also provides free counseling services for students.
University Health Center
The University Health Center, located at 15th and U Streets, has been organized to help students keep healthy, vigorous and active while they are attending the University. The primary objectives of the University Health Center are the prevention of illness and injury through the active promotion of healthy lifestyles, and the treatment of illness and injury occurring to students enrolled at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
A modern clinic and hospital are equipped to handle most illnesses, but not major surgery. Specialists are on hand in the fields of eye, ear, nose, throat, orthopedics, dermatology, urology, gynecology, internal medicine, dentistry, radiology, allergy, neurology and psychiatry. Minimal charges are made for treatment in specialty areas.
All University of Nebraska-Lincoln students are eligible for Health Center services, but charges will vary depending on whether or not student fees have been paid. Students may also contact the University Health Center at 402/472-7435 or the Health Center website for information regarding student insurance.
