Roberts Wesleyan Policies and Procedures

Policies and Procedures are fundamental to the operation of any organization.  Roberts Wesleyan’s Policies and Procedures provide administrators, faculty, staff, and students the guidelines and requirements for their actions, to maintain accountability, and clarify how the college conducts business, guiding our community to fulfilling its mission.

Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal gender equity law that prohibits sex discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding. Sexual discrimination, which includes sexual harassment and all forms of relationship violence and nonconsensual sexual misconduct, are prohibited under this law.

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

The mission of Roberts Wesleyan University is to prepare thoughtful, spiritually mature, service-oriented people who will help transform society. In order to fulfill its mission, Roberts is committed to providing a learning, living, and working environment free from sexual discrimination.

Counseling Center

The Counseling Center offers free and confidential mental health services to students of Roberts Wesleyan University. Eligible students can access individual and group counseling, psychiatric services, as well as participate in outreach events on campus designed to provide preventative mental health support. The counseling center offers short-term, goal-focused therapy. Many students are seen for one visit, while the average treatment length is five or six sessions. Services are being offered virtually through a HIPAA-secure telehealth platform. If you think this will be a problem for you, please let us know and we will discuss alternatives. We continue to be available by phone (585) 594-6882 and email counselingcenter@roberts.edu for any student needs or questions.

For mental health emergencies:

Please contact 9-1-1 or if you are still on campus, please call Campus Safety at (585) 594-7777. In the event of a mental health crisis, please contact the National Suicide Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 or text TALK to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741

The Learning Center

The Learning Center is a friendly place that can help you become a more efficient, independent, and self-confident student.  Our services are designed to help Non-traditional, Adult, and Graduate students who need assistance or support in their writing, learning, or disability-related needs.

Best of all, our services are completely free of charge! Whether you seek individual help to improve your approach to learning and study time, seek help to improve your writing, need assistance to handle the volume or rigor of college-level reading or research, require legal accommodations as a student with disabilities, or if you are an international student still in need of English language acquisition, your tuition dollars have already gone ahead and put the services you need in place.

Our suite is in the B. Thomas Golisano Library, (585) 594-6270.

Office of Diversity & Equity

The Office of Diversity & Equity promotes and facilitates a campus culture where all people are safe, valued and empowered through education and advocacy. We are excited to provide training and development on ideas of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and simply serve as a resource for underserved students and communities. Our mission is to facilitate personal, spiritual and intellectual growth through a lens of cultural humility.
