Please Note: Students should not pursue services at Counseling Services for the sole purpose of obtaining a letter of support for missing classes or for a medical withdrawal from classes. Counseling Services does not provide letters at the time of an initial consultation and cannot provide documentation regarding a student’s mental health without a history of services at Counseling Services during the specified time-period. If necessary, students are encouraged to seek letters of support from professionals directly involved in their care such as past or present psychological/psychiatric providers, or medical health providers.
Emotional Support Animal (ESA) policy: It is against the Code of Ethics of the American Counseling Association (ACA) for a counselor to recommend the use of an ESA 鈥渦nless the counselor has specialized training and experience in working with human-animal bond in counseling such as would be outlined in the ACA AAT-C Competencies for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) due to the potential risks involved for clients, the public, the counselor, and the animal.鈥� None of the RMC counselors have this specialized training and, therefore, will not advocate for a student to obtain an ESA.
