Campus Resources

The College provides a variety of services to all its students, some of which may be of particular interest to students with disabilities.  In addition to the Office of Student Disability Services, campus resources for students with disabilities include:

Student Counseling Services

Janet Spoltore, Ph.D., Director, Warnshuis Health Center, 860-439-2275, campus ext. 2275 to make an appointment

Counseling Services provides both individual counseling sessions and off-campus referrals, if indicated, and coordinates campus support groups dealing with emotional issues.  Counselors will also meet with parents and individual faculty members but only if requested by the student using counseling services.  A student who is interested in developing a specific support group should call the Director of Counseling Services.  Counseling Services is entirely confidential and will share information with the Director of Student Disability Services or another staff member only if a release has been signed by the student.

Student Health Services

Cate Moffet, MSN, APRN, Director, Warnshuis Health Center, 860-439-2275, campus ext. 2275 to make an appointment

The Student Health Services office maintains all medical records and provides short-term health care.  Health Services staff can make referrals to local medical personnel when necessary.  In order to have Health Services share information with the Director of Student Disability Services or another staff member (or vice versa) a student must sign a release.

The Writing Center provides one-to-one tutoring to help writers of all abilities during all stages of the writing process. 

The Center is staffed by undergraduate tutors from a variety of majors who are specially trained to assist students with their writing projects.  The Center is open whenever classes are in session and operates by appointment or on a walk-in basis.  Workshops on study skills are also offered at specific times during the semester.

Centralized Academic Tutoring Service (CATS)

Joyce McDaniel, Coordinator, Blaustein 214, 860-439-5324, campus ext. 5324
