Counseling Services Fee
The University of Nevada, Reno, through its Counseling Services Office provides confidential, professional counseling related to mental health, and emotional well being for this university’s undergraduate and graduate students. The $35 fee is designed to support current and future demands for mental health counseling as provided by the Counseling Services office. In no way does this preclude Counseling Services from seeing students in crisis since professional standards of practice mandate that such situations be addressed immediately.
The mandatory counseling fee is posted for every enrolled undergraduate and graduate student who is registered for six or more credits. No fees will be prorated during the semester. Students who are exempt from paying the fee can still opt to pay the fee and receive psychological counseling services. These students include:
- Any student enrolled for less than 6 credits each semester;
- Students enrolled in mini sessions or summer sessions;
- Students enrolled in the School of Medicine;
- “Students in crisis,” seen prior to paying the fee. Any student in crisis who has not paid the fee will be received on the initial visit to meet with a psychological counseling professional. Subsequent visits will require the semester fee to be paid in advance. Students who elect not to pay the fee will be referred to a counseling resource in the community.
Students Exempted From Paying the MCF and, therefore, are not eligible for services. Criteria for Exemption include:
- Students who do not have access to Counseling Services;
- Students out of the service area on exchange at another campus:
- Students not in the geographic area who are enrolled in distance education courses, enrolled for dissertation credits, etc.;
- Graduate and undergraduate students working at Counseling Services in either a clinical or clerical capacity. Ethical guidelines prohibit provision of services to co-workers.
