What Should I Know if I Have a Visual Impairment at BYU?


Welcome to Brigham Young University.

University Accessibility Center (UAC) is happy you have joined us. BYU is a fairly big place with lots of people and buildings. This packet will help you navigate through the issues you may face at BYU.


COMMONLY-ASKED QUESTIONS


— If I have a visual problem, do I therefore have a disability?

This is a great question and the answer isCit depends. By law, a disability is considered to be an impairment of a major life function; it often impacts your life dramatically. However, it is possible for you to have eye problems but not have a disability. Documentation from your physician should address this issue. UAC can provide a letter for your physician, asking him/her to provide the information outlined and needed by the law. Contact your advisor at UAC to have this done.

— Do I get the same accommodations as my friend with a similar disability?

Again, it depends. Individuals with similar disabilities may have very different limitations. You will be assessed on an individual basis. By law, UAC attempts to minimize your individual limitations and thus provide you with equal academic access.

— What kind of help is available?

There is oodles of assistance all around campus, from your professors to the equipment at the assistive-technology room in the library. University Accessibility Center (UAC) can point you in the right direction and help determine the accommodations for which you qualify. Your accommodations depend on the limitations you have as a result of your disabilityCwhat has been helpful to you in the past, what your documentation suggests, and what you and your UAC advisor agree on. Possible accommodations are discussed throughout this packet.

AVAILABLE ACCOMMODATIONS

— Textbooks on Tape

UAC encourages you to enroll with the Utah State Library for the Blind (USLB). This is a free service which provides its members with equipment and academic or non- academic titles on tape. Membership forms are available at UAC.

UAC runs its own Volunteer Recording Program (VRP) and does not require students to be registered with Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. The VRP is staffed by paid readers, supervisors, and trained volunteers who will read your textbooks onto tape. These are special tapes that have four sides, and you will need a four-track recorder to listen to them. You can obtain a four-track recorder from the Utah State Library for the Blind or the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. In order to be eligible to use the VRP service, you will need to provide documentation and meet with your UAC advisor. Only academic material for classes can be recorded at the VRP. Your advisor will give you a Service Request Form.

—Steps to Using The Volunteer Reading Program

Your first step is to send in your documentation. This can be done as soon as you are admitted to BYU. The easiest way to get your documentation to UAC is to give your doctor=s name and address to one of our counselors. Then UAC will send a letter to your doctor that explains the type of documentation we, by law, need.

Register with UAC and meet with your UAC advisor. If you don't already have a four-track recorder, ask for a form from your advisor that allows you to register for a recorder through the Utah State Library. Also ask your advisor how to use a four-track recorder if you are unfamiliar with them (ask about the index button beeping and the side selection switch).

Register early for classes. If you are using books on tape, you will be eligible for PRIORITY REGISTRATION. By registering early, you will know ahead of time what texts you need taped. Also, you will be able to turn in your book list early to UAC and thus get your tapes in a timely fashion. Remember there are many students using this service and books are recorded on a first-come, first-serve basis. UAC would encourage you to turn in your requests a semester in advance. The VRP would like your books on tape request form and your service request form as soon as possibleCat the very latest two months in advance.

After you have registered for your classes, talk to your professors. Ask them for the titles, authors, publishers, and copyright dates of the texts you will be using. Many professors will know a semester or more in advance the books they will use. Also ask the professor if there will be additional reading assignments, a class syllabus, or anything else you would need on tape. Ask if there will be specific chapters to read or if the whole text will need to be read. Office and phone numbers of faculty are in the BYU Telephone Directory. The BYU Bookstore Textbook Department (801-422-3003) can provide you with this information, provided the professor has turned it in.

Once you know what texts you need, you need to find out if your texts are already on tape. First, call the Utah State Library (1-800-662-5540). If they do not have your texts on tape, call the Learning Resource Center (LRC) (801-422-4581) at the BYU Harold B. Lee Library. The LRC has many general education and religion books on tape. If the State Library or the LRC have any of your books on tape, make arrangements to obtain copies for the semester. You don=t have to turn in a service request form if your texts are already on tape.

If your books are not recorded, then fill in a Books on Tape Request Form at UAC. You will need to check the appropriate boxes on the form, stating that you have called both the State Library and the LRC. Turn in your completed form to the UAC office. In order for your books to be recorded in a timely manner, please submit your forms as soon as possible.

Remember to contact the VRP (801-422-4365), as well as UAC, with any cancellations of classes for which books on tape have been requested. The VRP also needs to know if the professor cancels or changes a book for a class so time is not wasted reading the wrong book.

Feel free to contact the VRP any time for progress, concerns, or questions about your books.

When your books are taped, you will be called by the VRP or UAC. You can then go into the Library LRC (4th Floor of HBLL) and pick up your tapes for the semester.

— Live Readers

If you qualify for live readers, you should fill out a Service Request Form. UAC staff recruit volunteer live readers and do their best to match readers with your schedule and requests. UAC has a current list of available volunteer readers. You may stop by or call UAC to get this list. Please be aware that it takes UAC at least two weeks at the beginning of each semester to recruit the volunteers. You also can recruit readers from your ward, church group, and/or residence hall.

— Note Takers

In addition to readers, UAC staff recruit and train volunteer note takers. These individuals are from the campus community. Their job is to attend the lectures with you and take legible, accurate notes. Note takers do not attend the lecture without you there. If you are ever unable to attend class, you need to make other arrangements to have your notes recorded. UAC can give you some ideas. Please note that if you miss three class periods without notifying your volunteer, your services will be discontinued until you visit your UAC advisor.

The note takers, while being responsible for taking good notes, are not responsible for tutoring you or providing rides and other services. There is a note taker policy handbook in UAC which you are encouraged to check out and read. Your advisor can familiarize you with the policies on using a note taker.

—Procedures for Obtaining a Note Taker

Clear the note taker accommodation through your advisor in UAC.

Fill in the pink Service Request Form requesting note takers. You will need to provide information on your classes: title, time, section number, etc.

UAC recruits note takers at the beginning of each semester. It usually takes one or two weeks to train and assign all the note takers. UAC will provide you with carbonless paper, which you may give to a classmate to take notes for you until your note taker is assigned. If you need help in finding a peer note taker, your UAC advisor and your professor can assist you.

Come in to the UAC office on a regular basis. Your note takers' names and phone numbers will be posted on the note-taker board. UAC can give you this information over the phone also. You are then responsible to contact your note taker and arrange your first meeting. The note taker will have accepted the responsibility to take notes for your specific section and will be expecting your phone call.

The note takers are aware that they are not to enter the classroom without you being there. If you are going to be absent from your classes, then please inform both UAC and your note taker. While your service providers will not be in class when you are not there, you can use the carbonless paper and a peer note taker. Remember that with three unexcused absences, your service providers will be discontinued until you meet with your advisor at UAC.

— Peer Note Takers

Some students have a fellow classmate take notes for them. UAC can supply you with carbonless paper for your peer note takers, enabling them to take notes for you with no financial cost. Your UAC advisor can help you recruit peer note takers if you need this assistance.

 

— Overheads

Whether you choose to use a note taker or not, you have the right to ask professors for copies of overheads. You can ask your advisor to write a letter to your instructors at the beginning of each semester stating your accommodative needs. If you want letters, remind your advisor.

— Scribes

You can receive a scribe or test proctor through UAC by filling out a Special Service Request Form and turning it in to the volunteer coordinator. Be aware that UAC requires 48 hours notice in order to locate a scribe/proctor.

— Typists

You will need to fill out a Service Request Form. UAC requires at least a 48-hour notice for this service. You can obtain a copy of the list of typists from UAC so that you can contact them when you need to. This list indicates student typists' names, numbers, and available times. Depending on the length of your paper, it may take more than a day or two for the typist to complete it. If you decide to use a typist, you are required either to dictate or to write your paper first, in the exact manner you want it typed. It is your responsibility to edit your papers. The Reading/Writing Center in 1010 JKHB can help you with this. Typists are not responsible for correcting spelling and grammar or for editing your work in any way.

— Tutors

UAC does not provide a tutoring service. BYU runs a free tutoring service through the Campus Involvement Services, located in 3400 WSC (422-4793; This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ). Most academic departments on campus also have lists of tutors available for hire. Tutors charge a fee, the amount of which should be worked out between you and the tutor. Many of the general education classes have labs with teaching assistants to help you.

 

— Priority Registration

This accommodation is given to those students whose limitations demand it. It permits you to register for classes early so you can have your books on tape in a timely fashion, or choose smaller classrooms in order to see the board, etc. Check with your advisor to see if early registration is a needed service for you.

AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY

Most of the assistive technology is located in the accommodative study room in the HBLL. Access into this study room is through a code which will be given to you by your advisor.

Large Screen Computers. In the accommodative study room, there are 21- inch-screen computers. These computers are equipped with speech readers and enlargement programs.
Brailler and Braille Printer. The accommodative study room also houses braillers, a braille printer, and a set of braille dictionaries.
CCTV. There are several Closed-Circuit TVs in the accommodative study room. Some are black and white, others color. One CCTV has a lever system which can be used by individuals with mobility impairments.
Scanner. For some reading assignments there is a scanner. The scanner formats text onto tapes or CDs for use with screen readers on the computers.
Screen Readers and Screen Enlargers.

CHALLENGES AT BYU

Having a disability can impose challenges at the best of times. Attending a university/college for the first time can bring about its own special opportunities for both frustration and joy. The following concerns and challenges have been raised by many other students with and without disabilities:

— How do I find my way around campus?

This is a great question. At the time of the writing of this handbook, campus is undergoing major construction. UAC is excited because, when the buildings are complete, BYU will be even more accessible. For now, new students may find it a little more confusing to find their way around campus. However, you can make an appointment with your advisor through UAC and he/she will give you an accessability tour of campus. You will be shown all the best routes to your classes and introduced to the Accommodative Study Room. Floyd Hassinger at the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) can work with you on finding your way around campus. Floyd may be reached at (801) 374-7724.

— How many classes should I take in a semester?

The answer really depends on you and your circumstances. Do you have to work as well as go to school? How many hours do you work? How many classes have you taken at other colleges? How many hours does your advisement center or department of study suggest? You will have to develop an understanding of what you can handle and what is good for you. Sometimes individuals with visual impairments find that they are slowed down in reading their books or typing their papers, even with the influx of current technology. If you are a student who finds this to be a concern, then be careful of overloading yourself. In college, time flies. By taking too many classes, many students often find themselves "in over their heads." Learn what is "over" and "under" your head.

 

AVAILABLE HOUSING

There is a variety of accessible housing at BYU. The Housing Department in the past has been eager to work with students with disabilities. However, Housing (as with UAC) needs to know in advance of your arrival at BYU concerning your specific needs and accommodations. Disability law asks that reasonable notice be given. At most universities the budgets for departments are planned at least one year in advance. UAC suggests you place yourself on the on-campus housing waiting list as soon as possible. Once you have been accepted into BYU housing, you should alert Housing Services of your needs (100 SASB, [801] 422-2611).

— How do I get a place to live (in on-campus housing)?

Apply as soon as possible. While you must be a full-time student at BYU to live in on-campus housing, you can apply for housing before you are admitted. Some of the waiting lists are up to a year long (e.g., Wymount Terrace). There is always a great demand for places in the residence halls at BYU. Not everyone who applies is able to find a place on campus. The places are given on a first-come, first-served basis. Students with disabilities compete for housing on the same basis as students without disabilities. UAC and Housing expect students who need accessible housing to apply for a place in the halls in plenty of time for consideration.

— Can UAC help me get a place to live in on-campus housing?

Some students with disabilities have not been successful in the past in locating on-campus housing because they have applied late or have not submitted a complete housing application. In the past, UAC has been asked by concerned parents and students to ask Housing to make an exception and move a student with a disability into the residence halls even when they previously had not applied or met the Housing deadline. While we understand these concerns, UAC is not at liberty to meet these requests. UAC would be more than happy to suggest alternative off-campus accessible accommodations. The Department of Off-Campus Housing can help the student locate potential housing (801-422-5066). Please, if you are unsure how to fill out an application for housing or you want to ensure you have filled out the application correctly, ask the Housing Department to check on your status. You may think your name is on the list, but you may find that you have disqualified yourself by not filling out the form correctly. For example, if you overlooked checking the box which indicates you want accommodations in the fall, Housing will assume you do not and you will not be allotted a place for the fall.

— Where will I eat if I live in the residence halls?

If you live in Deseret Towers or Helaman Halls you will eat at the cafeteria which is in the center of your residence halls. Part of your accommodation expenses in these halls includes a meal plan. If you are part of the Freshman Academy, you will eat some of your meals with your group and faculty members in your hall cafeteria.

If you will be living in Heritage Halls, the Foreign Language complex, or Wymount Terrace, there are no official cafeterias. These apartments come with a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals. If you live in Heritage Halls and are beginning in the fall, you will be able to buy a limited meal plan to eat in the Morris Center (cafeteria at Deseret Towers).

Any student can eat in any cafeteria on campus. You do not have to live in campus residence halls to eat in any hall cafeteria. However, if you do not live in Deseret Towers or Helaman Halls (or you have the limited Heritage Halls plan) you will need to pay full price for cafeteria meals. Those students living in Deseret Towers or Helaman Halls have the option of purchasing a meal plan rather than paying cash for meals. For more information please call Housing (801-422-2611).

There are several other great places to eat around campus. No one has to go hungry. If you need help in carrying your trays, reading the menus, locating food, etc., in any of the eating establishments on campus, please ask an employee for assistance. This is part of the employee=s jobCthey are usually happy to assist you. Sometimes it is hard for anyone to ask for help. For you it may be carrying your food; for the person assisting you it may be a math homework problem that you would find easy.

 

STRESS


In school you have to contend with more than classes. Activities such as homework, studying, typing papers, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, visiting with friends, dating, extracurricular activities, and religious activities (Wheee!) are all a part of your life. Reading the list is enough to make you feel exhausted. Yet, if you are going to live away from home while you are attending college, you will have to take care of these chores for yourself.

— Avoiding Overload and Procrastination

According to most medical research, many of the common chronic illnesses are exacerbated by stress. University life is stressful! There are projects, papers, and exams. The main sources of stress in school come from overload and procrastination. Overloading on classes and activities makes it impossible to carry out all your assignments or do them well. Procrastination usually ensures that a shoddy job is done. Sure, many individuals say "yeah, but I work well under pressure," but chances are that's all they know because of our two friends overload and procrastination. Just think, if at finals time all your projects were complete, you were up to date on your studies, you had one small review, and you knew more than you needed to for your final, you would feel well and have no last minute pressure colds or overloaded muscle aches or procrastinator's migraine. In fact, since you wouldn't have to cram you may even squeeze in a social activity or two and get to bed early the night before your exam. People actually do get through college both of these ways. Doing the last-minute, staying-up-night-after-night, semester-after-semester idea is dumb, and leads to poor health and lots of anxiety. You choose, the choice is always yours! That is the freedom of college; you are responsible for your choices, good or bad. If you don't want to be dependent on our friends overload and procrastination, here are a few tried and proven ideas:

Let asking for assistance be OK. Perhaps, as with many people, you are an independent "go-getter." When individuals with disabilities have to rely on someone else for assistance, it may be perceived by the individual with the disability as yielding control. In fact, the opposite is true. Knowing your limitations and when to ask for legitimate help is a way of taking control and conserving much needed energy, so you can engage in the things you really want and need to do.

Create a schedule. Begin each semester by planning a weekly schedule from Monday through Sunday midnight. There are 168 hours in a week. Make each one of them count and work for you. Write down all the tasks you need to accomplish that week, and include your class, social, and religious time.

Prioritize. It doesn't really matter how you prioritize or whether you use letters (ABC) or numbers (123). What really matters is that you do prioritize and write down the activities you need to accomplish in their order of importance. The reality is that you already have preferences for certain activities. The difficulty comes in being controlled enough to place necessities either equal to or ahead of pleasantries. If your goal is to gain a degree, then the activities you schedule on a weekly basis should reflect this.

Know the rules. Find out what credit hours your school financial aid office requires you to take to be a full-time student or to receive benefits. For example, On-Campus Housing requires the students who live there to be full-time students. If, due to health reasons or disability, you cannot take a full class load, then you may qualify to petition Housing. Please contact UAC; we can help you decide your eligibility and help you through the steps. Full time at BYU is 8.5 credit hours for a semester or 4.5 for a term, such as spring or summer. For a full Pell Grant you need to take 12 credit hours. (You can still receive some money for taking fewer than 12 hours.) For Pell Grants the hours are not negotiable, they are stipulated by the U.S. government. For enrolled credit hour requirements for student scholarships, call the Financial Aid office, 801-422-4104.

Obtain academic help. In order to keep in academic good standing at BYU you need to obtain at least a 2.0 GPA each semester, and term, you are attending BYU. Failure to do so will place you on academic warning, probation, and if not resolved may lead to suspension from the university. The Academic Support Office (422-2723) can help you avoid some of the academic problems you may encounter.

Examine your course combinations. Some classes are more time consuming and demanding. Two very difficult classes may be more challenging to your energy level and stamina than three or four classes of varying difficulty. Academic counselors, advisors at UAC, and talking directly to the department/professor all can help you guesstimate your time commitment to each class. If all your classes will be extremely demanding, then choose a class or two each semester which will help you modify these demands.

Plan for needed accommodations well in advance. Talk to your professors about the accommodations you may require and/or have an accommodative letter sent to them by UAC. You can reach your professor through the university departments. Staff there usually know who will be teaching prior to the beginning of a new semester. Be aware that unless you have a letter sent to your professors by UAC, by law professors are supposed to ask for documentation of your disability before accommodations are provided.

Investigate your choice of classes. If you really cannot decide which classes to enroll in and which to pass until another semester, attend all your choices the first week. For example, if you know from past experience you are able to take 12 to 14 hours of class but are interested in classes which would total 16 hours, then during the first week attend all 16 hours. Write all your required semester assignments for each class on a large calendar. Ask each professor how much time outside of class he/she expects you to spend studying. Evaluate with your advisor if you have the energy and time to keep all these commitments. Then drop the appropriate classes as necessary.

Remember going to school is a full-time job. About three hours of outside study is required for one hour in class. A twelve-credit load would mean 36 hours of outside study! Do you have the time and energy? You may have the energy to attend all the classes, but what about assignments, papers, and studying? A carefully selected schedule will give you the opportunity of full participation in all class requirements. Remember, if your disability means that writing a paper, etc., will take extra time, then factor the extra time into your schedule. For example, if you are planning on using a volunteer typist, know that the typist will need your written paper in plenty of time BEFORE your assignment is due. You should not plan to give the paper to the typist the night before your paper is due. You are responsible for writing and editing the paper well before the due date.

 

Schedule sleep time and naps. When you are making your semester schedule, factor in sleep time (including naps if needed). Take into account the time you spend trying to fall asleep. Students seem to lose more sleep than any other group of people. There is always so much going on in the dorms, and then there are all those tests which get in the way of an active social life! For those of you who are married, there is the time needed for you and your spouse, not to mention the kids! Plan these needs in your semester schedule. Remember, if you rob yourself of sleep you will ultimately rob yourself of health.

Learn your awake and sleepy times. If you are most alert from noon on, then plan your classes and study time in the afternoon and early evening. If after 6 p.m. you need to nap, don't take a class or plan on studying during this time period. If you know you don't wake until 10 a.m., do not plan on taking an 8 a.m. class. Regardless of your good intentions, you probably will not go to this early class.

Record all of your other commitments on your schedule. Include laundry, shopping, picking the children up from school, cooking meals, dating, talking to friends, and even going to church/synagogue/mosque. While taking 12 hours may seem small, combined with all the day-to-day tasks, your good health could be taxed severely.

Consider school financing. Many students do need to work while attending school. Campus Employment, located in C-40 ASB (801-422-3561), has a number of job listings each day for both on- and off-campus opportunities. Also, you can check with the Financial Aid office (801-422-4104), A-41 ASB. Occasionally there are scholarships for individuals with disabilities. In addition, you may wish to apply to your local Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (801-374-7724) for possible sources of funding.

Attend lectures. Part of being a student is attending lectures. Plan accordingly and prepare from the beginning of the semester so your professors are aware of your needs (UAC can help with this). Plan for peers to either tape-record, video, or take notes for you if you are absent. Even under disability law you are responsible for in-class information if you are absent.

Avoid competition. Learn how to avoid competing with your friends and roommates. Everyone is different, disability or not. Some of your friends can "burn the candle at both ends." Some will cram and study all night. You need to find your own scheduleCwhat works for you. Sure, plan some fun activities in your schedule. There may be a big activity which you know will wipe you out. Plan ahead. Maybe you can attend part of an activity rather than the whole thing.

Don't expect others to know your needs. You may need to teach your friends how to plan activities that you can engage in and have fun. No matter how much your family or friends love and care about you, they do not know exactly how you feel or what limits you may have on any given day. You will have to be patient as they learn to adjust to your needs and frustrations. You will probably have to teach your family home evening group how they can accommodate you. There are so many activities going on in and around campus. By working with your friends and church groups, you should be able to participate in as many activities as you want to. For those of you who have not had the opportunity but want to learn to ski or participate in other outdoor sports, contact the National Ability Center located in Park City (801-649-3991). They have a staff who would love to teach you to enjoy the slopes safely.

Think about having a peer mentor. Who will understand your struggles and your particular concerns? The UAC office runs the Peer Mentoring Program for those students who are interested. UAC teams new incoming students of UAC with students with similar disabilities who have been at the university and already are working through UAC. You swap phone numbers with your peer mentors and get together whenever you want. Some students meet for lunch, others call each other to exchange ideas. If you are interested in this program, ask your UAC advisor.

 

POLICY AWARENESS

— Add/Drop Policy

Learn what the university add/drop/discontinuance policy is in case you should need to drop a class later. At BYU you are permitted to add and drop classes from September 2 through September 15 without any record on your transcript. If you drop a class between September 15 and October 6, a "W" goes on your transcript . A "W" does not affect your GPA; however, an abundance of them may affect your financial aid status. If you have concerns, check with the Financial Aid office. From October 6 through November 25, to drop a class or withdraw from the university, you need to be facing a legitimate emergency. During this time period, you must go through the Petitions Commit tee (speak to Mary Whipple, B-150 ASB, 422-6570). You will need to have official verification of the emergency. You also will need to obtain your teacher's signature to drop a class. If you are not passing the class (D- or above), then you will receive a AWE@ which counts into your GPA as an AE.@

— Discontinuance

If you decide to discontinue school during the semester, confer with your advisor at UAC. Also, you must work through the Discontinuance Office (Alice Harrison) B-150 ASB, 422-7705. If you are discontinuing during a major semester (fall and winter), it would also be advisable to talk to an Admissions counselor B-238 ASB, 422-3641. The admissions counselor will inform you concerning your opportunities to be reaccepted into BYU.

— Career Counseling

Research indicates that you will get through college more efficiently if you are studying toward a major. Career counselors can be located in the Counseling and Career Center. You may take interest inventories and discuss your dreams and ideas with one of the counselors. If you are concerned that your disability may impact a specific occupation, both counselors from UAC and Career Services can help you examine your options.

College Advisement Centers (CACs) can help you specify a major and inform you of the course requirements.


FINDING A PHYSICIAN

It is important that you find a local physician. Even if your primary caregiver is your family physician in your home state, it is sensible to find a doctor nearby. You may want to have your home physician recommend a local physician for you to see while you are at college.

The McDonald Health Center at BYU provides outpatient care including physiotherapy. The Health Center also has specialist physicians who visit campus. For more information about student services call the Health Center 801-422-5156.

Health organizations such as the Arthritis Foundation or the CIFIDS foundation, both national and state, may be able to refer you to physicians in the area who are familiar with a specific illness. These organizations also may inform you of local support groups and current information about your illness:

  • CIFIDS: 1-800-422-3437 (National)
  • CIFIDS: 801-461-3378 (State)
  • American Cancer Society: 1-800-234-0533 ( National)
  • American Cancer Society: 373-5886 (State)
  • Arthritis Foundation: 801-486-4993 (State)
  • MS Society: 1-800-FIGHT MS
  • 1-800-527-8116 (State)
  • Lupus: 1-800-657-6398 (National)

— Depression and Other Emotional Concerns

No matter how mentally healthy we think we are, experiencing life carries its own emotional legacy. A student may encounter depression and anxiety as a result of leaving home, breaking up of relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed by school work. Individual counseling may provide you with an opportunity to relieve your concerns and anxiety. For full-time students, the Counseling and Career Center at BYU (422-3035) is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The after-hours number is 422-2222, which is the number for the University Police, who will contact the counselor on duty. For non-students, there are several local community resources which provide counseling. One source is the Comprehensive Clinic at BYU (422-7759).

Remember, through it all, school is FUN. You will learn more about the world and yourself than ever before. What an opportunity! There are oodles of people, including those of us at UAC, who want you to succeed!
