  VII. OTHER INFORMATION

A. Identification Cards

ID cards with photographs are issued to all Juilliard employees through the Office of Facilities, Maintenance and Engineering. Faculty, staff and students must use their ID card to enter both the Juilliard and Rose buildings. Those who do not have their ID card with them cannot enter until the security officers have verified them using rosters that they maintain at the front desk.

B. Visitors

Visitors must be screened by the security officers before they are allowed to enter the building. If a guest is coming to visit a staff member, the staff member can pre-authorize, on the same day, his/her entry to the building, in the sign-in notebook at the security desk. If the visitor has been pre-authorized, the security officers will allow entry to that visitor after s/he has signed in. If there is no pre-authorization, the security officer will call the staff member to authorize entry.

C. Tuition Remission

All staff members are welcome to audit non-credit courses in the Evening Division free of charge, if the course they choose is not full. Staff members who have been at Juilliard for at least six months can enroll in Evening Division courses for credit, free of charge, also subject to space availability.

G. Use of Practice Rooms

H. Health and Counseling Services

General health care and emergency first-aid, along with a variety of health and wellness services, are available for students in the Student Health and Counseling Services office, located on the 22 nd Floor of the Rose Building. A full-time Physician Assistant, Medical Assistant, and Administrative Director staff the office. In addition, the following consultants are available to students on site: Family Practitioner, Physical Therapist, Orthopedic Surgeon, Nutritionists, and Mental Health Practitioners. Students are encouraged to call the Student Health and Counseling Services for an appointment with any of these providers.

The mission of the Juilliard Counseling Service is to provide supportive psychotherapy to assist students in meeting their emotional, psychological, and mental health needs. Our services advance the academic and performance missions of the School by facilitating personal development, self-awareness, problem solving and communication. The Counseling Service carries out its mission through three essential roles and functions including counseling and psychotherapy, consultation, and outreach programming.

The Juilliard Counseling Service has a clinical director of counseling and five consulting psychotherapists who are all available to students on-site at various hours Monday through Saturday during the academic year. Appointments at therapists’ private offices may be granted upon special request. We also have a consulting psychiatrist to whom students who require medication are referred (free-of-charge). Counseling services are conducted in soundproofed counseling rooms or at the private offices of our therapists, and there is a counseling waiting area that is separate from the health clinic side. The Counseling Service has its own separate phone number (769-3918) that students may call to schedule an appointment or to speak with a therapist.

The Juilliard Counseling Service maintains the highest standards of confidentiality of all psychotherapy records and information. Psychotherapy records are kept in locked file cabinets in the Counseling Service therapy rooms, which are also locked. Access to psychotherapy records is limited to the therapists and psychiatrist who are members of the Counseling Service team. The Counseling Service has a written policy regarding the confidentiality of patient psychotherapy communications and records. This may be found in the Service’s “Policies and Notice of Information Practices,” a copy of which is available in the waiting area of the Health Services clinic, or upon request.

I. Administrative Referrals

The Administrative Referral is a formal administrative procedure developed to assist the Administration in reaching a particular decision or determining an appropriate course of action for a student whose behavior or personal circumstances may be interfering with her/his artistic and/or academic progress. Intended to be a preventive measure as well as a remedial one, the Administrative Referral consists of a required meeting with a qualified mental health professional. Consultations are arranged through the Vice President for Academic Affairs at extension 351.

M . Emergency Procedures

When a Fire Alarm sounds, it must be taken seriously. Specific instructions will be broadcast over the hallway PA system as soon as possible. However, assume the alarm is real and begin to evacuate unless the PA announcement informs otherwise. Staff members should know the location of the nearest stairway to their office since, in a real emergency, the elevators will not be operational. After exiting, proceed to the north plaza of Lincoln Center, by the reflecting pool adjacent to the Metropolitan Opera, and await further instructions.

If a Security Emergency arises during business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), please call the Office of Facilities, Maintenance and Engineering, extension 311, and a security guard will be sent to assist. At all other times the Security Desk may be reached directly by dialing extension 246 or 247.

If there is a Medical Emergency during regular business hours, call 911 immediately and then call the Health Office, extension 282. For on-site medical emergencies after business hours and on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays, call 911. When 911 is called, a dispatcher will ask for the company name, address to which the ambulance should respond (which is the front door with access from 65 th Street at the base of the Rose Building), the patient’s exact location (floor number and specific area), the general nature of the medical emergency, the caller’s name and the callback telephone number. It is important for the 911 dispatcher to be told the general nature of the patient’s illness or whether the patient has been injured (from a fall, in an assault, etc.), so that the paramedics can immediately bring the appropriate equipment and medical supplies from the ambulance to the patient as soon as they arrive on the scene.

In the event of a Snow Emergency, the following radio stations will announce any cancellation of classes: WCBS and WINS. There will also be a recording on the main Juilliard switchboard number.
