University Health
Services, 642-8000, http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu,
2222 Bancroft Way. If a medical or emotional problem arises during a
student's academic career, the staff of physicians, nurses, counselors,
health educators, and other professionals at University Health Services
(also known as the Tang Center) is there to help.
UHS activities concentrate
on three major areas: medical services, health promotion, and counseling.
UHS also provides health insurance plans.
All Berkeley students
and their spouses or domestic partners can use UHS. (Spouses and domestic
partners pay additional fees.) Your registration fees subsidize the
medical, health promotion and counseling services within the building
and, with the exception of nominal fees in some cases, these services
are available at no extra charge to students. For services outside the
building students are required to carry major medical insurance and
are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
Counseling and
Psychological Services, 642-9494, http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/students/counseling/psychiatry.htm,
2222 Bancroft Way (The Tang Center), third floor. CPS, a part of University
Health Services, provides career, academic, and personal counseling
through individual and group sessions, couples counseling, testing services,
and occupational information. Counselors are a multicultural group of
social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
Any Berkeley student
can come in to talk about career goals, coping with a personal crisis,
dealing with concerns about family or other relationships, feelings
of anxiety or loneliness, stress, gay, lesbian or bisexual issues, what
it's like to be at Berkeley, the effects of racism, handling eating
disorders, or any of the many issues we all encounter. Talking with
a counselor in a confidential, nonjudgmental atmosphere can aid in self-understanding
and in solution of personal issues.
There is no charge
for the initial counseling consultation or the first two appointments
following the consultation. After that, there is a $12 fee per appointment.
All psychiatry medication appointments are $15 each.
The Social Services
staff of CPS provides individual and group counseling, advocacy and
referrals, and care management in the following specialized areas: sexual
assault, pregnancy, drug and alcohol use, dating/domestic violence,
nutrition, and serious medical illness or injury. Students with concerns
for themselves or a friend may contact Social Services to discuss any
of the above issues at no charge (642-6074).
The Office of
the Ombudsman, 642-5754. The Office of the Ombudsman for graduate
and undergraduate students and postdoctoral appointees provides informal
and impartial conflict resolution services. The Ombudsman operates as
a designated neutral and independent agent of justice in University-related
matters, including academic as well as administrative concerns. All
matters referred to this office are held in strict confidence. The only
exception, at the sole discretion of the Ombudsman, are cases where
there appears to be imminent threat of serious harm.
The Office of
Student Conduct, 643-9069, 326 Sproul Hall, http://uga.berkeley.edu/sas/rights.shtml.
OSC investigates and resolves cases of individual and student organizational
misconduct, including allegations of academic dishonesty, forgery, hazing,
inappropriate use of University resources, computer-related violations,
misuse of alcohol or drugs, physical abuse and threats of violence,
and sexual harassment or assault.
The Berkeley Campus
Code
of Student Conduct is enforced on all University-owned or operated
properties, at all University-sponsored events, and off-campus within
the limitations defined in the Code. OSC works in conjunction with academic
departments, residential units, health services, and campus and local
police to ensure that the campus environment is as safe and productive
as possible.
