Campus Resources
While they serve the entire 17³Ô¹ÏÍø community, there are a number of departments at 17³Ô¹ÏÍø that routinely provide especially valuable services to students with disabilities. We have described some of these below, listing their phone numbers and locations. The campus operator can reach those departments that do not have a TDD in-house through TDD relay.
Training, Resources and Assistive-Technology Center (TRAC)
TRAC is not actually a department of 17³Ô¹ÏÍø, but a related facility with administrative autonomy. TRAC provides quality services, training, and programming to persons with disabilities, rehabilitation professionals, educators
and employers.
Phone: 504-280-5700
Counseling Services
The primary goal of the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Counseling and Career Center is to assist 17³Ô¹ÏÍø students with their personal and professional development. This is accomplished through the provision of mental health counseling and consultation, career counseling, career exploration and employment search assistance. Problems with interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, sexual worries, poor grades and career concerns, and even mental illness are all difficulties that college students may encounter. Counseling services are available to all currently enrolled 17³Ô¹ÏÍø students for a time-limited but full range of counseling services.

17³Ô¹ÏÍø Police Department
The 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Police Department (17³Ô¹ÏÍøPD) provides the required parking decals for 17³Ô¹ÏÍø students, including verification of state-issued handicapped parking privileges. Additionally, students who have mobility impairments or other health issues may be able obtain special parking permits allowing them to park in spaces close to their classrooms that would normally be closed to students. These special permits require registration with ODS, documentation of an impairment to substantiate the request, and a memo from ODS to 17³Ô¹ÏÍøPD supporting the request. 17³Ô¹ÏÍøPD is also responsible for managing all emergency action on campus, and will, therefore, be involved in any medical emergency taking place on 17³Ô¹ÏÍø grounds.
