Disability Accommodations

If you are a student with a documented disability (chronic medical, physical, learning, or psychological) requiring reasonable academic accommodations, you must contact Disability Services (located in Ahmanson 205, telephone 310-846-2554) before you need any accommodations. Retroactive accommodations are not provided, so please be sure to make your request early in the semester. All discussions will remain confidential.

Student Health and Wellness Center

The Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC) is available for all currently enrolled students if any medical or counseling need should arise. Medical services include acute, chronic and preventive care which includes sick visits, physical exams, lab work, and immunizations.

Therapeutic counseling services are offered Free and Confidential to all enrolled students. Common topics include generalized anxiety, depression, social anxiety, adjustment, and relationship concerns. When a student is in significant emotional distress or experiencing a crisis, we also have same-day appointments available.

The SHWC is located on the first floor of Ahmanson, room 107; hours of operation are 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made in person or by calling 310-846-5738. In a life-threatening emergency, students should call 9-1-1 and Campus Safety and Security: (310) 665-6965.
