Student Assistance Program

Recognizing that students may have personal problems such as marital or financial difficulties or role conflicts that may affect their performance in the nursing program, the College offers a referral service for students. Danville students can be referred for counseling services at Danville Area Community College (DACC). Students on the EIU campus may utilize the EIU Counseling Center.

College of Nursing contacts are: Dean of Nursing; Director of Assessment; Coordinator or Course Coordinator or Clinical Instructor for N310: Nursing Care of Mental Health Client. These individuals will make an assessment and determine if further evaluation is necessary. Costs for any treatment is the student's responsibility and may qualify for payment under the student's healthcare plan. No student will be discriminated against in any way because of a referral. A list of community agencies that offers counseling for students may be obtained from the Dean of Nursing.
