Listed below are some of the many campus facilities and resources designed to help students academically, socially, and medically; many of the important academic and administrative areas of the University are also listed.
There are many important University publications available.

General Information
Quality health care is available to all full-time students at
Student Health Services, located at 881 Commonwealth Avenue, West
Entrance. Student Health Services consists of the Medical Walk-in
Clinic, the Mental Health Clinic which includes a Crisis Counselor,
and the 14-bed Infirmary. In general, there is no charge to full-time
students for services provided at Student Health Services by staff
physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses, or for staying
at the Infirmary. However, students must pay for certain tests
and medications provided at either the Infirmary or the Medical
Clinic. The cost of services obtained outside the Medical Clinic,
such as doctors' bills, X rays, lab tests, ambulance services,
hospitalization, and surgery, is the student's responsibility.
Massachusetts law requires students at institutions of higher
education in the state to have adequate health insurance. Those
persons affected by this law include full-time students and part-time
students who participate in at least 75 percent of the full-time
curriculum. The student health insurance plan offered through
the University is a qualifying insurance program. Students who
do not accept the school health insurance must certify in writing
before each academic year that they are participating in a comparable
health insurance program.
In order to be officially registered, students must submit to
Student Health Services a Medical History and Physical Examination
form and an immunization form that have been filled out and signed
by a physician. The immunization form must include the day, month,
and year of the following required immunizations: tetanus, diphtheria,
measles (two shots), mumps, and rubella. This form is sent to
each student who has been accepted for admission and may also
be obtained at Student Health Services.
Medical Walk-in Clinic Medical consultation
is available for diagnosis and treatment on a walk-in basis with
staff physicians and nurses. At its discretion, the clinic may
administer allergy shots for a fee of $150 per year to students
who supply their vaccine with clear, typed instructions by their
physicians. Hours: the clinic is open year-round, Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is closed on University holidays.
For further information, call 617/353-3575.
Mental Health Clinic Consultation with
either a psychologist or a psychiatrist is by appointment and
confidential. Hours: the Mental Health Clinic is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. during the academic year, and closed on University holidays.
Emergency mental health care is available 24 hours a day during
the academic year by calling 617/353-3569 or 617/353-3575, and
during the summer (commencement through September school opening)
by calling 617/353-2121.
Infirmary The Infirmary admits
students who are too ill to care for themselves properly in their
dormitories or apartments, but who are not ill enough to be hospitalized.
Hours: visiting hours are from 1 to 8 p.m.; the Infirmary is open
24 hours a day during the academic year, and provides emergency
treatment by nurses during non-Clinic hours. Please call 617/353-3578
for further information.
Crisis Intervention A crisis intervention
counselor is on call to help students with serious problems that
arise at any time. These problems may include emotional stress,
alcohol or drug abuse, crime, or any other crises that a student
may encounter. The counselor can be contacted on an emergency
basis 24 hours a day, including weekends, by telephoning the University
Police at 617/353-2121.
Boston University Rehabilitation Services (formerly the Sargent
Clinic) provides services in audiology, occupational therapy,
physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and vocational rehabilitation
for clients from the Boston University community and the Greater
Boston area. The clinic also offers comprehensive cardiovascular
fitness testing through its Fitness Evaluation Center. The staff
is made up of certified clinicians licensed by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health. The clinic is located at 635 Commonwealth
Avenue, 6th floor, Boston, MA 02215; 617/353-8383.
Massachusetts law provides, in general, that no alcoholic beverages
can be sold, delivered, or given in any way to a person under
21 years of age. State law neither permits nor condones the possession,
use, transfer, distribution, dealing, or sale of illegal drugs
and narcotics. The University supports these laws without exception.
In addition, University policies restrict the quantity of alcoholic
beverages that may be brought into residences and provide for
sanctions against students who violate these policies. While students
21 years or older may bring limited quantities of alcoholic beverages
into residences, the University strongly encourages students not
to do so.
The King Center celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 1994.
Dedicated to the values and memory of alumnus Martin Luther King
Jr. (192968), the King Center addresses the personal, educational,
and career development needs of Boston University's students.
The center is a centralized source of comprehensive professional
services and programs for undergraduate and graduate students
seeking counseling, career planning, or placement assistance.
These services, as well as those provided by the center's Multicultural
Affairs and Disability Services Offices, can help students gain
the maximum benefit from their academic efforts. Information and
appointments can be obtained by telephoning or visiting the second
floor reception desk at 19 Deerfield Street (in Kenmore Square);
for phone numbers see King Center departments listed below.
Office of Career Services The office is a
resource center designed to help students obtain career and internship
information, clarify short- and long-term goals, and develop and
implement their career plans. The internship program can assist
students in finding learning and working opportunities in the
community that will also help them academically. On-Campus Recruiting
offers assistance in the job search when a student has selected
a probable career path and is within an academic year of graduation.
The Credentials Service lets the student establish a file for
potential employers that contains letters of recommendation and
unofficial copies of transcripts. The Career Resource Library
maintains current job listings and a collection of books and literature
on a wide variety of careers and employers. For further information,
please call 617/353-3590.
The Counseling Center Individual and
group counseling is offered to students who have personal, interpersonal,
career, or life-decision concerns. Testing Services, in conjunction
with counseling, enables students to obtain information about
personality styles and interests, as well as to use this information
in exploring their career options. In addition, the Class of '93
has contributed to the establishment of a Rape Awareness and Response
Program. Services are short-term-based and strictly confidential.
For more information, please call the center at 617/353-3540.
Disability Services Boston University
is committed to maximizing the academic, social, and cultural
integration of individuals with disabilities. This means that
students with physical, learning, and psychological disabilities
can expect to use the same campus facilities and University programs
(in some cases with enabling accommodations) as students who are
not disabled. Therefore, most of the facilities and programs described
in this bulletin make no mention of separate services for the
disabled. Consultations with the Disability Services staff are
available to individuals or groups requesting assistanceor having
questions or concerns about programmatic, architectural, or communication
accessibility. Auxiliary aids such as sign-language interpreters
or readers are available for all of the University's educational
programs. Disability Services may be reached at 617/353-3658 (Voice)
or 353-7790 (TTY only).
Disability Services also provides services to students with documented
learning disabilities (LD). Students are able to choose between
two levels of LD support services. Students who need extensive
support and would like to meet with a learning specialist on a
regular basis for up to two hours a week may enroll in for comprehensive
services, which carry an additional charge. Extended financial
aid packages and scholarship assistance are available to students
who meet the University financial aid guidelines. Students with
learning disabilities who do not need individual support may seek
basic support services such as taped textbooks, additional time
on exams, or assistance in arranging for other reasonable accommodations,
at no charge. Disability Services also offers a six-week summer
orientation program for students with learning disabilities who
will be attending Boston University, or another higher education
institution, in the fall. All students enroll in a 4-credit course,
participate in a daily learning strategies seminar, and attend
workshops on skills for college students, library use, and word
processing with Macintosh computers. Enrollment is limited. For
more information, contact the Office of Disability Services.
Multicultural Affairs Boston University's
ethnically diverse community includes African American, Hispanic
American, Asian American, and Native American (AHANA) students
at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. They are the primary
beneficiaries of Multicultural Affairs' efforts, although the
office serves the entire campus community on issues of diversity
and multiculturalism. The mission of Multicultural Affairs is
to enhance the quality of life and to monitor students' academic
and career success. This is accomplished by cooperating with Schools,
Colleges, and the University Student Affairs offices.
Through effective planning and coordination with graduate and
undergraduate student organizations, Multicultural Affairs facilitates
and encourages students' personal and educational development.
This goal is accomplished through implementing academic, educational,
cultural, and social programs. Among them is Common Ground, a
component of Summer Orientation that introduces the issue of diversity
awareness to incoming students and their parents. This program
serves to empower its participants by moving through stages of
recognition, tolerance, acceptance, internalization, and celebration
of the unity and beauty of diversity. Celebrating Diversity is
a Multicultural Orientation program designed to acquaint students
and parents with Boston University, the city of Boston, and the
richness of its diversity. The program, which occurs annually
during opening weekend, includes panels and workshops that address
student life issues along with a number of social activities to
foster community spirit among incoming freshmen, transfer students,
and family members. In Search for Common Ground is a lecture series
that enhances the collective understanding of issues that are
important and timely to further understanding of diversity and
multiculturalism. Through the AHANA Empowerment Council, mentoring
programs are available that enable participating students to meet
with students, faculty, and staff who have ethnic or cultural
backgrounds similar to their own. The office also sponsors an
annual Martin Luther King Jr. holiday observance and houses a
collection of materials documenting the AHANA experience. Multicultural
Affairs can be reached at 617/353-3791.
