If you are a new student and have not requested accommodations through our office before, please review the Requests for Academic Accommodation Checklist here.

| Welcome to UST, new students!
We are happy you are here. “College provides a cushioned entrance to the real world…Indeed, college is your first step toward real independence.” (Taken from College Survival, 6th Edition by Greg Gottesman, Daniel Baer, et. al. ) This first step can be exhilarating and wonderful, yet it can also be overwhelming. Counseling & Disability Services is a good resource to utilize should you need some support during this time of transition.
College is very different than high school. For example, no one is forcing you to attend class. It's very tempting to skip that 8 a.m. Biology lecture. There are more academic demands in college, and also social opportunities; it can become a challenge to balance all of your social and academic obligations. (View a presentation on all the differences between high school and college here.)
If you are feeling overwhelmed by all of this change, please call or come by our office. Also, visit our resource page for a list of online resources.
Sincerely,
C&DS Staff
