Referral Sources

If the student discloses a disability/diagnosis or asks for accommodations in the classroom, the Miller Center for Student Disability Services provides services and reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access to education and campus life at Miami.

If the concern is a complicated issue that involves academics and/or a Miami policy/process, the Student Success Center focuses on advocacy, problem-solving, and retention. Staff can help students untangle and resolve complex problems and assist with navigating Miami policies and procedures.

If the student wants to speak with someone confidentially or discloses mental health concerns, Miami's Student Counseling Service provides individual and group therapy, substance use assessment, workshops, and outreach to students. Students may also wish to call the H.O.P.E. Line (Help Over the Phone Everywhere) at 855-249-5649 to speak to a licensed mental health counselor at any time.

If the concern relates to a student's wellness choices (sleep, substance issues, or diet), the Office of Student Wellness provides education, resources, and services to promote student health and wellness. They raise awareness, coordinate programming, and influence policy that results in healthy choices.

If you think a student is experiencing significant distress and have been unable to address the issue through conversation or make an appropriate targeted referral, use the Student Concern Reporting System to pass your concern to the Office of the Dean of Students.

If the student discloses an illness or exhibits a need for medical attention, Student Health Services provides outpatient medical care. Services include general medicine, injury care, and immunizations, as well as gynecology, laboratory, and psychiatry services.
