Wellness Center

Welcome

The Wellness Center, located in C-122 is comprised of Health Services and Personal Counseling Services.

The mission of the Wellness Center is to provide physical, intellectual, social, and emotional well-being that fosters academic and personal success within the context of a global and culturally diverse society.

The Wellness Center is a fundamental and integral part of the total educational process and supports the College’s mission to provide a teaching and learning environment dedicated to excellence and a commitment to the hallmarks of student-centeredness, accessibility, comprehensiveness, collegiality, community partnerships, and lifelong learning.

Recognizing that each student who comes to the College is unique, it is the belief of the Wellness Center personnel that their primary responsibility is to the student: to respect their needs and to foster a climate in which physical and emotional health issues can be addressed.

For specific hours of operation, and further information, please see the “Health Services” or “Personal Counseling” web pages.

COVID-19 Information

The Wellness Center continues to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) very closely. The health, safety, and well-being of our college community is our top priority. Please be advised that SUNY Niagara is following all CDC, DOH, and SUNY guidelines and regulations associated with the COVID-19 Virus. The COVID situation has continued to change significantly bringing about increased relaxation of mandates on the city, state, and national level.

Vaccines are not required as a condition of enrollment, however, all students are strongly encouraged to stay up to date on their initial course of vaccinations and boosters consistent with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.

Students enrolled in any program or course or who are participating in a clinical or internship held at a third-party location must continue to comply with all health and safety guidelines, including any vaccination, testing protocols, or masking requirements that are in place at the third-party location.

SUNY continues to strongly recommend that affiliates stay home if they feel unwell and/or have a fever within the last 24 hours (requiring anti-fever medication) and follow CDC guidelines if they test positive for COVID-19. Testing is recommended for people with symptoms of COVID-19 as soon as possible after symptoms begin. Students who test positive are encouraged to remain off campus. Students who reside in housing may remain in their room just as with the flu, strep throat, and other illnesses. Students should engage in protective measures (masking, social distancing) per CDC recommendations to prevent the spread of illnesses to the greatest extent possible.

SUNY and SUNY Niagara will continuously examine COVID-19 data and update policies as needed based on local conditions or in response to requirements imposed by federal, state, or local authorities. Please monitor your college email for updated information as it becomes available.
