Student Support Unit


	The main aim of the student support unit is to cater for the needs of students and to create a safe, stable and healthy environment in order for students to flourish and succeed in their academic endeavors. Our aim is also to bridge the gap between the diverse population of students and staff by addressing cultural differences and sensitivities, particularly the different attitudes and beliefs we each bring with us that affect our perceptions and how we solve problems and deal with issues. We believe in teamwork that involves collaboration, cooperation, confidentiality and communication. Hence, the SLOGAN: Working Together For Students

Counseling and Advising

Counseling is provided individually or in groups. Staffed by one therapist with many years of experience working with college students, the office of Counseling and Advising Services is available to assist ACK students with any personal concerns. Students may wish to discuss a broad array of issues that may range in topics and in levels of seriousness. These may include adjustment to college, depression, anxiety, concerns about family, substance use or abuse, eating concerns, and many others. The office strictly adheres to laws and ethical standards regarding confidentiality.
