Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook 65 Center for Student Counseling and Well-Being The Center for Student Counseling and Well-Being (CSCW) offers student counseling services to the student body of NSU to help students maximize their best self academically, personally, and professionally. NSU’s clinical partner is Henderson Behavioral Health, a leader in behavioral health care providing comprehensive, recovery-focused services and is accredited at the highest level for student counseling services by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Services provided at the CSCW range from stress management and coping strategies to psychiatric assessment and crisis intervention. The center provides the student with an assessment, counseling, consultation, psychiatric services, wellness and recovery education, and when needed, case management services and linkage or referral. In addition, the CSCW provides various outreach programs and support groups on such topics as stress management, transitions to college and grad school, as well as coping with oneself and others. Individual, couples, family, and group counseling that utilizes a brief therapy model is provided in a welcoming office environment. The option for telehealth services is also an option when appropriate. Services are scheduled based upon the identified needs and service options chosen by the student. The counselor’s goal is to build upon the student’s current skill sets for positive behavioral change. Services are provided by licensed counselors, licensed psychologist, and a psychiatrist. Full- and part-time enrolled students are eligible for 10 counseling sessions per academic year at no cost. Psychiatric services are available and are covered by many commercial insurance plans, or for a nominal fee. Daily appointments available for new students.

Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement The Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement (CLSE) is home to the Student Events and Activities (SEA) Board, more than 150 registered undergraduate student organizations, the Inter-Organizational Council (IOC), the Diversity Student Council (DSC), and the Undergraduate Student Government Association (USGA). This office hosts and sponsors university-wide events such as the Student Life Achievement Awards, Sharkapalooza, Homecoming, and CommunityFest. CLSE is also responsible for our Sharks on the Scene (S.O.S.) Program, offering students exclusive discounted tickets to some of the largest events South Florida has to offer. Additionally, CLSE oversees the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office (FSL), Orientation, and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Resource Center (DEIB). The FSL office oversees our 12 social Greek lettered organizations by 3 distinct councils: Collegiate Fraternal Council, Panhellenic Council, and Unified Greek Council. Joining the Greek Community provides opportunities for academic support, social networking, service to the greater community, and a chance to be a part of NSU tradition. The DEIB Resource Center serves as a catalyst for the recognition and coordination of the celebration of our diverse student body and offers resources, support, and inclusive programming activities. This resource center seeks to strengthen and enrich the NSU community through engagement opportunities, educational programming, vast cultural experiences, and support for traditionally underrepresented student populations to cultivate a continually sensitive and unified campus environment. CLSE plays a key role in assisting students to develop an affinity to NSU through engagement in organizations and activities related to their interests.
