The Bureau of Study Counsel is a counseling and learning resource center that encourages the development of the "whole person" in the interrelated realms of intellectual, emotional, and social life.

This hunch is always worth listening to. The information on this page will help you think through such issues as why to refer, who to refer, when to refer, how to talk with the student, and how to follow up on a referral to the Bureau of Study Counsel.
