Campus Health

“The mission of the campus health center is to help each student strive for maximal physical health while pursuing their academic and personal goals at KCU”.

Caring for KCU

It’s difficult to go to class, study for an exam, or even get out of bed if you are sick, but the reality is, it happens to the best of us. In an effort to ensure our students stay healthy, KCU strives to ensure preventative measures are in place to help reduce the spread of common viruses and illness that often plague college campuses around the country. Part of this effort involves prompt and professional care and consultation from our full-time Campus nurse.

  • Personal Issues: such as Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness, Adjustment to college life, Stress, Loss and Grief, and Personal growth and development.
  • Premarital Assessment, Education, and Counseling
  • Relationship Issues including: Improving communication skills, promoting appropriate assertiveness, increasing conflict resolution skills, marital issues, couples counseling, and issues involving sexual identity.
  • Improving Academic Success through reducing anxiety, stress management, increasing study skills and time management.
  • Addiction Issues including illegal substance use, pornography, easting disorders, and other addictive behaviors
  • Crisis Intervention

Services received from the Campus Counseling Office are provided without additional charge or fee for all enrolled students of KCU. In some cases, referrals for non-campus public or private follow up may occur. Fees for follow up referrals to non-campus programs are the responsibility of the student and/or their insurance plans.

What Parents need to know about Student Confidentiality

Your student will visit Student Health for a variety of health concerns, and we know that you will want information about the status of their care. If your student is over 15 years of age and self-sufficient, or over 18 years of age, we are required by law to keep that information confidential. We will be able to share information only with the written consent of your student, or in cases of an immediate threat to harm themselves or others.

Christ-Centered Vision

“The Christ-centered vision of KCU both connected me with people whose influence has shaped me to this day and gave me a foundation in ministry-effectiveness for which I am extremely thankful.”

Kyle Davies, Class of 2013 & 2015
