ACCESSING SERVICES
Belk Gym 020 & 025J
When you enter Belk Gym, go down one floor to access our two training rooms. Nicole Whitaker will treat you in one of these rooms during walk-in hours.
Our Athletic Trainer is taking walk-ins and appointments. Visit the University Recreations website for more information including a detailed weekly schedule with drop-in times and locations.
Support resources
Who should you talk to if you need support? If you need classroom support, have questions about a classroom topic or approach, or have witnessed something in class you’d like to speak about, the instructor is a highly recommended first point of contact. If you cannot approach the instructor, you may consider communicating with the unit head (chair or director) as a facilitator. See more resources, below.
Office of Student Affairs: Student Assistance and Support Services
SASS assists, supports, and advocates for students experiencing a broad range of issues, concerns, or challenges interfering with a student’s ability to be successful academically or personally. This includes absence verification, basic needs, emergency housing, food insecurity, student complaints, student emergency fund, tuition, housing and dining appeals, withdrawal, and incomplete grade requests.
Office of Civil Rights & Title IX
You can report incidents of sexual and interpersonal misconduct, as well as incidents of discrimination and harassment to this office. This office takes active measures to create or restore a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for community members that is free from discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and sexual or interpersonal violence. Title IX reports also connect students with appropriate resources (i.e. SASS, Dean of Students, chair, etc.).
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
CAPS’s primary goal is to provide comprehensive wellness-related programs and services to students. CAPS offers individual and group counseling, crisis assistance, consultation, referrals, outreach, and online training.
