Guide to Making Referrals

The Student Wellness Center recognizes the role of the entire academic community in ensuring the well-being of our students. Members of the academic community, specially the faculty, are the best agents of referral as their interaction with the students is regular and frequent and the information they can share to the counselor is first hand.

Members of the academic community are enjoined to refer students to the SWC when they spot, detect or a student reports on any of the following:

• Adjustment concerns specially for freshmen students, transferees and shiftees
• Academic concerns such as poor/deteriorating academic performance
• Behavioral or Emotional concerns such as frequent tardiness/absence anxious reactions, extreme shyness,
• Career concerns
• Personal/Social/Relational concerns
• Mental health issues/concerns
