Student Counselling and Accessibility Services

Counsellors

Mental health is as important as physical health. During the University years, it is very natural for students to
experience challenges as they work towards their personal and academic goals. These struggles include but are not limited to, adjusting to the new University environment, academic stress, lack of goals, issues at home, financial struggles,
loneliness, conflicts in relationships, etc.

Student Counselling and Accessibility Services (SCAS) provide free, supportive, and confidential counseling services to all registered UDST students. These services help students overcome the challenges that they may be facing in order to experience a more enriched University life. Counselors work collaboratively with students to:

  • Resolve their challenges by developing self-awareness and skills to meet their academic and life goals.
  • Explore options, identify goals and develop plans related to personal, family, financial, and relationship concerns.
  • Deal with crisis situations.
  • Create awareness through workshops and awareness campaigns, promoting overall student wellness that
    extends beyond classrooms
