Personal and academic stress, relationship concerns, and transitions, among other things, can get in the way of doing well in college. UCCS can help. Talk to a UCCS counselor individually or attend a group session or workshop. University Counseling and Consulting Services also has excellent online resources that offer information on a variety of issues including eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health issues, and learning problems.

Disability Services
Academic difficulty can be a result of, among others, learning disabilities, physical impairments or psychiatric disabilities that make certain types of assignments more difficult. If you suspect this may be the case, Disability Services can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and those of the University.
The U of M is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for enrolled or admitted students who have documented disabilities such as a mobility, hearing, visual, learning, psychiatric, systemic, or brain injury impairment. Visit Disability Services for academic accommodation services, support, and counseling related to a disability.
Internation Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)
For some students, simply being in a foreign country can negatively impact their academic performance and personal life. If this is your situation, you should talk to an adviser in ISSS. Their primary mission is to assist international students in successfully accomplishing the goals that brought them to the University.
