The Counseling and Student Development Center provides mental health services, developmental skills assistance and human relations services to the student community. Through individual therapy, group counseling and psycho-educational programming, the center helps students to:

• Resolve personal conflicts
• Deal with emotional distress
• Develop more effective and satisfying lifestyles
• Overcome sexual abuse trauma
• Improve interpersonal relationships
• Recover from substance abuse
• Enhance educational development

In addition to counseling and therapy, the center provides consultative services and psycho-educational programs to students, faculty members, administrators and parents. Consultative services provide individuals the opportunity to consult with a counselor and obtain assistance in assessing a problem, considering how to help someone who may be having personal or mental health difficulties and/or obtaining information about psychological and mental health services. Consultation can also assist with referrals to mental health providers in the Harrisonburg community. Psycho-educational services provide a variety of workshops and presentations (such as stress management, interpersonal communication, family dynamics and weight and eating concerns) to assist students with their academic success and personal well being.
Services are available to all full-time students; limited services are available to part-time students. The center is staffed by psychologists and counselors. All contacts with the center are treated on a confidential basis unless other arrangements are made. Appointments can be made by calling the center or stopping by the office. In case of a mental health emergency after regular office hours, call the campus police for assistance at (540) 568-6911.

Nutrition is important throughout life, and the college years are no exception. JMU Dining Services is one of the largest departments at the university, supporting the academic life of the entire community seven days per week with convenient, tasty meals and refreshments. The department serves the entire campus in 14 different venues across campus, ranging from espresso bars to cheeseburgers. Students need Dining Services in varying amounts and ways. Those who live on campus rely heavily on the department for both sustenance and an enhanced quality of life. Full-time and part-time students residing off campus usually need fewer on-campus meals, but Dining Services provides a haven for between classes. In addition to being a source of good, nutritious meals, the various dining facilities offer a way to join in campus life and make friends.
To meet the varied needs of individual students, Dining Services provides different meal plans. All on-campus residents may choose from among three meal plans, which come with the “Student Housing and Food Contract.” They are the 19-Meal Plan, the 14-Meal Plan and Any-11-Premier Meal Plan. All of these plans provide the student with more good food at less cost per meal than any other means available. Commuters, who do not automatically have meal plans, may purchase any of the on-campus plans and have the additional options of a ten, five and three meal plan.
The department also offers declining balance accounts that operate similar to a debit card. Students using this plan, called Dining Dollars, get a 5-percent discount and pay no sales tax on anything they buy. Cash sales are also welcome at all Dining Services locations. For information, questions or to purchase meal plans, call Card Services or stop by Warren Hall, Third Floor. Brochures and information may be obtained from the Dining Services Administration Office located in Gibbons Hall, Entrance 7.

Section 504 and the ADA guarantee the rights of all students with documented disabilities equal access to an education, which is limited only by personal ability and not by their disability.
Our mission is to assist the university in creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in their educational experience at JMU.

In order to provide effective and reasonable accommodations, students will be required to provide documentation of their disability.

It should also state the diagnosis of a disability, indicate the substantial limitations resulting from the disability and provide a justification for reasonable accommodations. Guidelines for the documentation of a disability can be requested from Disability Services or found at the following Web site: www.jmu.edu/disabilityser/documentation.htm. This information will help Disability Services provide each student with appropriate, reasonable accommodations and support services.
