Health and Counseling

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's provides students and employees with medical services. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ also offers free, confidential counseling services for students through the Student Mental and Behavioral Health office.

It is not uncommon for students to experience distress from time to time. The college years are one of the most challenging transition periods in life. Adjusting to campus life, increased academic demands, relationship problems, and other personal issues can feel overwhelming at times.

Confidential personal counseling services are available throughout the academic year to assist students in overcoming their difficulties. Staff members utilize an approach that emphasizes personal responsibility, prevention, intervention, and a concern for the whole student. It is our goal to assist students in improving their abilities to make informed decisions that positively affect their mental, physical, and spiritual health.

Certificate of Immunity: In accordance with the Illinois College Student Immunization Act 110 ILCS 20, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ University requires verification of immunity for Diphtheria/Tetanus, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Exact dates are required for all immunizations, date of disease and/or serological test results. If serology titer indicates lack of immunity, vaccines must be administered. Although Hepatitis B and Meningococcal vaccines are not required, the American College Health Association (ACHA) and our physician recommend that students consider being immunized. Immunizations administered prior to the first birthday are invalid.
