Support Education Services (SES)

Boston University offers individualized support and services to assist students with psychological disabilities and help them achieve their educational goals. Boston University's Supported Education Services (SES) believes that students with psychological disabilities can achieve their educational goals and learn the important skills necessary for success. This belief is the core principle of SES and the foundation upon which services are provided.

SES helps students learn to cope with symptoms that can affect their college experience. Such symptoms can include (but are not limited to):
  • Medication side effects
  • Problems with concentration
  • Memory or learning difficulties
  • Fatigue and sleep problems
  • Test or performance anxiety
  • Absences due to hospitalization or relapse
  • Mood fluctuations
  • Panic attacks or phobias
  • Trouble with thinking or organization
  • Conflicts and anger management
  • Interpersonal difficulties
SES Students Learn To:
  • Manage the academic and personal challenges of the University
  • Understand individual strengths, weaknesses, and interests
  • Become self- advocates who can effectively interact with professors, staff, and peers
  • Monitor the effectiveness of approved accommodations
