UMES Policies & Services

Counseling Services:
You are responsible for listening to your mind, your heart, and your soul, and paying attention to your mental health. As a college student, there may be times when personal stressors interfere with your academic performance and/or negatively impact your daily life. If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health challenges at UMES, please contact Counseling Services located on the 2nd floor of the Student Development Center, Suite 2260, or call 410 651-6449. The services are free and confidential.  If you need to speak to a counselor after hours, call Healthy Hawks, a 24/7/365 mental health support line at (410)651-HELP (4357).

Title IX Syllabus Statement:
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) and its faculty are committed to creating a safe learning environment for all students. In compliance with Title IX, any form of sex discrimination (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, or stalking) is prohibited. Retaliation for asserting claims of sex discrimination is also prohibited under UMES policies and Title IX. If you experience discrimination, you are encouraged to report the incident to the UMES Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIE). You can do so by calling 410-651-6135, emailing titleIX@umes.edu, or visiting the Early Childhood Research Center, Suite 1129. The OIE offers Supportive Measures to students who have experienced sexual misconduct regardless of whether or not an individual chooses to disclose their experience. Supportive Measures could include assistance to students with academics, housing, or other resources.

Please be aware that faculty members are “Responsible Employees” and are required to report information about suspected or alleged sex discrimination to the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance. If OIE receives information about an incident, they will reach out to offer information about resources, rights, and options. If you or another student you know would like to speak to a confidential resource who is not required to report, please contact the Counseling Center at 410-651-6449.

Any student who feels that they may require accommodations in this course, based on the impact of a disability, please contact Student Accessibility Services in the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance as soon as possible to arrange for a meeting to coordinate any and all accommodations.
