The university also has the counselling center with licensed counselors to offer counselling services to those who need it. Specifically, for students, the university offers a university public health plan and a college health promotion plan to support health promotion activities. Each college has dedicated professional nurse practitioners to provide students individualized health counseling and injury care services. If students need service of medical care, we will give them medical advice and refer them to nearby hospitals. We will follow up on the students' health conditions.
