There are many resources on campus to help students cope with academic, financial, emotional, and social issues. We encourage you to make the Advising Office your first stop; we’re happy to listen and to work with you to solve the problem or find the appropriate resources to do so. But there are many other places to find assistance.

Gannett Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
607-255-5208, provides professional individual and group counseling

Gannett Alcohol and Drug Resources
Provides confidential, nonjudgmental consultation, treatment, referral, education, and prevention services

Empathy, Assistance, and Referral Service

International Students and Scholars (ISSO)

A favorite service unique to Cornell is "Ask Uncle Ezra." An anonymous e-mail advice columnist, Ezra takes all questions, serious and silly, provides in-depth answers, and points readers to resources available to faculty, staff, and students both on campus and in the community. The link below is to Uncle Ezra’s counseling page, which is a comprehensive list of counseling, prevention, self-help, and wellness programs.
