The Counseling and Accessibility Services office abides by the Administrative Policy and Procedure Manual 4.07 with regards to university grievance process.  If you are having a problem with either your accommodations, or counseling, we ask that you bring this up with the CAS office directly so that we may have the opportunity to resolve any issue early, without fester.  To learn more about the formal grievance process see APM 4.07

Students can access online counseling services through TimelyCare via their phone or other device.  Students will be able to select from a wide-ranging menu of virtual care options from licensed counselors and providers and have access to services at no cost or insurance.

As part of this partnership with SRSU, TimelyCare will offer nine free sessions.  After nine free sessions if a student wishes to stay with their TC counselor, they will have the option of paying $75 per session.
