The Recreation Center is connected to the rest of the campus by the InnerLink walkway and limited parking is available beneath the building and a new 400-car garage next door. Hours of the Recreation Center will be Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m.-11 p.m.; Friday, 6 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. The pool closes one hour before the building closes.

Counseling and Testing Center
Located on the second floor balcony in University Center (UC) 254B, the Counseling Center offers, free of charge, self-help groups and personal and career counseling to all students, faculty, and staff at CSU. Licensed staff counselors, psychologists and social workers are always available for “drop-in” or crisis counseling. For more information call 687-2277 or get information online at http://www.csuohio.edu/counseling/ Visits are confidential.
A student may sometimes encounter difficulties from chemical or alcohol dependency that affects her/his law school performance. We encourage any student in that situation to seek professional assistance. Two resources are: the C.S.U. counseling service (216-687-2277, www.csuoohio.edu/counseling) and the Ohio Lawyers’ Assistance Program, a program specifically designed to help lawyers and those preparing to become lawyers (1-800-348-4343 or 1-800-618-8606).
The Testing Center, UC 253B, offers computer-scored tests of all kinds, including the Miller’s Analogies, and intelligence tests. In addition, the Center makes available applications and literature for a wide variety of entrance examinations, including the GRE.
Financial Aid
The University Financial Aid Office may be reached at www.csuohio.edu/financialaid
Health and Wellness Services
Cleveland State University Health and Wellness Services are available to all actively registered students, faculty, and staff. The Health and Wellness Services Center is staffed by nurse practitioners and a physician. Most medical problems that could be handled in a family practice office, including gynecologic issues, acute illness, and some chronic illnesses, can be cared for at the Center. The Center can also be helpful with wellness and screening testing for things like cholesterol, diet and weight reduction education, etc. Visits are by APPOINTMENT ONLY (there are no walk-in facilities), which are made by calling (216) 687-3649. There are a limited number of “same day” appointments for acute illnesses that are made by calling at 8 a.m. on that morning. These appointments go quickly so it is important to call early. The Health and Wellness Services Center is located in room 153 of the Cleveland State University’s Science and Research Center, located at 2351 Euclid Avenue. During the academic year, hours are 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, and 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Summer hours are 8 a.m - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
NOTE: Visits to the Center are without charge; there is a charge for medications and/or laboratory tests but the Center is considerably less expensive than most clinics. The Center sees patients regardless of whether or not they have any form of insurance as long as they are actively registered students at Cleveland State University that semester or faculty/staff. The Center does not bill insurance carriers. If you have the student health insurance, the Center is the gatekeeper for the insurance plan; check with them if you have any questions. Payment is generally expected (if there is a charge for meds/lab) at the time of services by cash or check. On occasion, IOU’s may be accepted. Students need to bring a current I.D. as proof of registration status. Visit the Health and Wellness Services Center website at http://www.csuohio.edu/health/.
Information on Student Health Insurance is available at http://www.chickering.com/ and students may sign up for health insurance through CampusNet, the University’s online information system.
NOTE: In the event of a major medical emergency, immediately call Campus Security at 2111 or the County’s Central Medical Emergency number, 771-3355.
Housing Bureau

Parking Office
The Department of Parking Services is located in the Chester Building, 2300 Chester Avenue, Room 128 and can be contacted at 687-2023. Additional information and the Parking Registration Form are available online at http://www.csuohio.edu/parking/. Parking Services provides accessible, convenient parking for all members of the campus community and guests given the constraints imposed by available space and demand.
Vehicles parked in any University lot or garage must have a valid parking hangtag displayed on the rearview mirror. Registration authorizes an individual to park on University property. Registration and possession of a valid hangtag DO NOT guarantee the holder a specific parking space. It provides the individual the opportunity to park within the area designated for specific type of hangtag. Hangtags and payment (if paying daily) are required from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday (unless otherwise noted by signage). Payment for parking is in effect whenever University offices are open, including inter-session and semester breaks.
Vehicles can be registered and hangtags obtained in the Parking Services Office, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Students must complete a registration form and present CSU student ID number, a picture ID (CSU ID card or driver’s license), and a copy of student’s course schedule. Students may obtain parking hangtags through their CampusNet accounts or in person at the Parking Services office in the Chester Building. Students are offered two payment options: “Prepaid” - $141.00 per semester. Prepaid option allows parking within the core of campus anytime. “Daily Usage” - No initial charge for tag, $4.00 daily fee required. Daily Usage offers core parking only after 2:00 p.m.
Security
Cleveland State University Security Department provides comprehensive police services to the community on a 24-hour basis. The police officers patrol on foot, bicycle and in marked patrol cars and respond to calls for service in addition to those of a criminal nature. In case of emergency inside a University building, call ext. 2111 on any campus phone. For information or general business, call ext. 2020. Additional information is available online at http://www.csuohio.edu/police/.
In the event that an emergency arises while someone is at home and needs to contact a student in class, the person calling must provide the name of the student, the building name, and the class room number in order for that student to be reached.
A network of Blue Light Emergency Phones dot the exterior of the campus. The emergency phones have no dials; when the receiver is picked up, a contact is immediately established with the police dispatcher.
Important - Community Service Officers are specially trained students who provide escort services to members of the campus community to and from any point on or near campus. These officers wear bright orange jackets, vests, or shirts with ESCORT printed on them, and carry two-way radios to summon help if necessary. To call for an escort, dial ext. 2020 on any campus phone. It is highly recommended that you utilize this service whenever leaving the building alone, late at night, or have to walk some distance to your vehicle.
