planning, implementing and participating in service activities. Some of Web: www.acu.edu/medical
the ways this is accomplished include:* Maintaining a registry of volunteer needs from local service
agencies and organizations,
* Partnering with faculty to enhance course work through service-
learning opportunities,
* Helping student groups or individuals design and plan special
service events and projects,
" Mentoring specific student organizations that seek to meet needs
in the community (Service Action Leadership Team, Wildcat
Kids, Treadaway Kids, Senior Buddies), and
* Documenting student service involvement for co-curricular
transcripts and course records.
ACU students contribute leadership and hundreds of volunteer hours
for the annual Intercollegiate Service Day and ACU for Abilene
Service Day. Involving students in planning, organizing and
participating in community service broadens their world view,
strengthens their relationship with Jesus Christ, and prepares them for
a lifestyle of service when they leave ACU.

The goal of the University Counseling Center is to promote mental
health and well-being among our students, staff and faculty. We
recognize that mental health affects academic success, social
relationships, physical health, and spiritual well-being. All ACU
students may seek professional, confidential counseling services at the
Counseling Center.
The ACU community is encouraged to make use of our services in
dealing with the daily stress that arises from college life. Our
professional staff is also available to assist with more serious mental
health issues such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. The
Center is actively involved in outreach and prevention activities on
campus.
In addition to counseling services, our staff is available to advise any
parent, faculty/staff member, or roommate in offering support to any
member of the ACU community with possible mental health concerns.
The Center is able to provide a range of services for students,
including medication management, as a result of working closely with
the Medical Clinic physician and an on-site psychiatrist. When
necessary, students may be referred to specialists within the Abilene
community, or in coordination with mental health care professionals in
a student's hometown.
There is a $10 per session charge for counseling services. Students
should call 325-674-2626 if they have any questions. The University
Counseling Center is located in the lower level of McKinzie, east end.
Medical Clinic

Phone: 325-674-2625
Fax: 325-674-6998ACU Student Health Services is a primary care clinic staffed with
licensed physicians, nurses, a nurse practitioner, and administrative
staff that provide care for illnesses and injuries, as well as mental
health issues. The ACU Medical Clinic is located on the ground level,
east entrance of McKinzie Hall directly across from the Business
Building. Services are available by appointment by calling 325-674-
2625. Appointment hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
Appointments are necessary to see the doctor. Walk-ins are welcomed
and will be triaged by a nurse. Based upon the nurse evaluation an
appointment will be scheduled at the earliest time available or a
referral will be made to an outside physician if needed.
Students generally pay a health services fee that entitles them to access
to clinic services. There is a nominal charge for each physician visit. A
valid ACU ID is required to access the clinic services. A student who
is unsure about a medical issue or problem may call 325-674-2625 and
speak confidentially to clinic personnel. If all appointments are filled
for the day, clinic personnel will advise on care until the student can be
seen. The medical clinic will not give excuses for missed classes or
exams due to a clinic visit. Students experiencing a lengthy illness that
may affect their academic performance may consult the clinic
physician about obtaining a letter explaining the situation.
The health services fee does not cover after-hours care, hospital
emergency room visits, hospitalization, and referrals to providers
outside of ACU Health Services. Students who are between semesters
in the summer and want to continue to use the Medical Clinic may be
eligible for services if they are enrolled for the fall semester. Please
contact the clinic at 325-674-2625 for more information and eligibility.
The on-campus medical clinic is not a substitute for major medical
insurance. Students should have their own insurance policies or
coverage on their parents' insurance. Students who are thus covered
should carry an insurance card in case they need medical care not
covered by the clinic. Students who do not have insurance or who are
not covered by a family policy may purchase student health insurance
through a plan endorsed by Abilene Christian University. Contact The
Depot at 888-588-6083 for enrollment information.
