Personal Counseling
Student Services
HGTC
Counselors provide limited confidential consultation and assistance with educational and personal problems that may interfere with progress toward student goals. A network of community resources and referral agencies exists to support the mental health needs of students. These services are available upon request in Student Services offices located on each campus Services for Students with Disabilities HGTC is committed to providing an accessible environment for students with disabilities. The primary purpose of Services for Students with Disabilities is to improve the educational development of students with disabilities through the understanding and support of the campus environment. This mission is accomplished through direct assistance to students with disabilities, encouragement of their independence, creation and maintenance of an accessible physical environment, and the provision of a supportive psychological environment so that students may achieve their educational objectives. The College understands that students with disabilities may require unique appropriate academic accommodations and must have their needs assessed on a case-by-case basis. Inquiries may be directed to the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities on the Conway Campus or the Coordinator of Student Affairs on the Grand Strand or Georgetown Campus, who will review documentation of the student’s disability and, in a confidential setting with the student, develop an educational accommodation plan. NOTE: It is the STUDENT’S responsibility to self-identify as needing accommodations and to provide acceptable documentation. Accommodations may be provided only once the student has self-identified, documentation has been submitted and appropriate accommodations have been determined and accepted. Health Services HGTC is a nonresidential College and does not provide infirmary facilities. First aid kits are available in many locations across campuses. Significant illness or injury is treated by health care professionals through the process below. Depending upon the severity of the case, if a student is incapacitated and immediate evacuation is necessary, the College will provide assistance by contacting local emergency medical technicians, and the student will be taken to the nearest hospital. When this is required, local health professionals will assist. In these cases, the following steps are taken: 1. A faculty or staff member should immediately call 911 to request an ambulance and notify Public Safety. 2. A faculty or staff member should then notify the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs (Conway Campus) or Campus Provost (Georgetown and Grand Strand campuses) and provide the name of the medical facility to which the student was taken and file an accident/incident report. 3. The Associate Vice President for Student Affairs (Conway Campus) or the Campus Provost (Georgetown and Grand Strand campuses) or their designees will immediately contact a family member. 4. If accidental injury occurs during evening classes, Evening Security should be contacted immediately, who should in turn notify the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs (Conway Campus) or the Campus Provost (Georgetown and Grand Strand campuses). 5. The President or Senior Vice President must be notified of all injuries. In less severe cases, the student is asked to contact the nearest faculty or staff member, make arrangements to see a physician if needed, and have a parent, spouse or friend take him/her home.
