Health, Wellness & Safety

Health, Wellness & Safety

As you learn and grow at Adelphi—in our labs, our classrooms, our playing fields, our residence halls or our performance stages—we are dedicated to making your experience safe, healthy and successful.

Whether you attend Adelphi as a student, or are part of our faculty and staff, your physical and emotional health, wellness and safety are our top priorities.

Health Services

The Health Services Center is dedicated to serving your health needs on a daily basis, while encouraging you to integrate a healthy lifestyle into your personal, academic and career goals. Outside of promoting health awareness, we also maintain a top-tier emergency response team which responds to any accidents or injuries involving any person on campus. Primary and urgent healthcare, health clearances, routine women’s healthcare, emergency response and wellness education are all part of our mission.

Student Access

Equal access in the learning environment remains a top priority for Adelphi University; in fact, College Choice ranked Adelphi among the 50 best disability-friendly colleges in the nation. The Student Access Office provides important information on note-taking assistance, speech-to-text online learning, implementing accommodations and providing closed captioning, among many other services to make learning accessible.

Student Pregnancy and Parenting

Our Student Pregnancy and Parental Leave Policy furthers Adelphi University’s commitment to programs and services that help student-parents meet their family care obligations while they pursue their academic goals.

Student Counseling

Adelphi is a strong believer in the importance of mental health in helping students achieve their goals. The Student Counseling Center provides comprehensive mental health, preventative and educational services to any student enrolled at Adelphi. All services are free and strictly confidential.

Mindfulness Center

A space to relax and ground yourself in the present moment. The Center is open to visitors and will also host an array of programs that allow students, faculty and staff the opportunity to explore mindful practices and connect to the spiritual, cultural and historical traditions of mindfulness.

Panther Pantry

At Adelphi, we take pride in caring for one another in so many ways. Helping Panthers who are experiencing food insecurity is no exception. That’s why Adelphi, under the Interfaith Center and Student Affairs, founded the Panther Pantry in 2018.

Community Garden

The Community Garden, located between Eddy and Linen Hall, provides garden-fresh fruits and vegetables in our panther pantry completely free. The garden is entirely community-led, meaning it depends on the Adelphi University community to grow and harvest the crop.

Public Safety

The University Department of Public Safety and Transportation is here for our students, faculty and staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We are committed to maintaining a comprehensive crime prevention and safety program for all members of the Adelphi community, and Adelphi is now ranked among the safest campuses in America.

Title IX

Adelphi is dedicated to maintaining a healthy academic environment for all in our community. Discrimination, harassment and retaliation of any type will not be tolerated. We take the issues of sexual misconduct, assault, domestic violence, relationship violence and stalking seriously, and work to ensure that every member of our community is treated with respect.
