VanderCook College of Music
NEW Student Services
New this Fall for Students!
College is hard enough. VanderCook has implemented three new Student Services designed to help you focus more on your productivity and let our staff help you through the things that take your mind, time and effort away from your studies.
Students can access free, confidential online therapy with licensed counselors who get it.
Flexible times. Real conversations. Judgment-free support.
We’re thrilled to highlight Single Stop – your free, comprehensive resource platform exclusively available to our campus community. In a quick 15-minute session, you can tap into an array of essential services and supports designed to enrich your university experience and your life beyond campus.
What’s Single Stop? Imagine having a personal navigator for life’s complex journey of benefits and resources. That’s Single Stop! It’s an intuitive platform that connects you with federal and state benefits, healthcare options, educational support, and more.
Why engage with Single Stop? In just 15 minutes, the federal and state Benefit Screener can transform how you access resources. It’s like having a compass that points you directly to the benefits you’re eligible for without the usual hassle and confusion.
Discover Local Support: With the Interactive Map of Community Resources, you’ll find a comprehensive network of local support, from food banks to job assistance programs, all within your reach.
