Our counselor is a professional, part-time staff member who is licensed by state and national accreditation boards. Counseling is confidential and free of charge. Students are accepted by self-referral or on referral of others. Common needs that may be addressed through counseling include depression, anxiety, family or other relationship difficulties, academic challenges, and grief. In addition to direct therapeutic services, referrals to external resources are facilitated when appropriate. Consultation and educational materials/programming can be made available to individuals or groups as well.

Office of Diverse Abilities & Accommodations The Office of Diverse Abilities & Accommodations at Vincennes University offers resources to all students with disabilities. Our staff members are committed to creating a “safe place” where students with disabilities feel respected and valued, and where they find meaningful support from caring professionals who encourage them to be independent and successful, as well as vital, contributing members of our community. Our mission is to help students with disabilities participate more fully in educational programming, benefit from an accessible environment and achieve greater academic and personal success. Please complete registration with the Director of Student Services at the earliest date possible since reasonable accommodations that necessitate additional staff or funding, contractual arrangements through an outside vendor, or structural modification or purchase (such as adaptive or assistive technology) may require longer than sixty (60) days to be arranged. In rare instances, accommodation requests that are not made in a timely fashion may be delayed. Please be prepared to provide professional documentation/evidence of a disability and the need for specific accommodations. Vincennes University complies with the requirements set by the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act to assure the rights of individuals with disabilities to fair, non-discriminatory treatment.
