Access clubs, organizations, and activities through JCU's Student Services
At JCU, we prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of our students. For this reason, provisions are in place to promote good physical and mental health. Campus doctors are available for in-person consultations from Monday to Wednesday from 14:30 to 18:30. They will be at the on-campus doctor’s office at the Guarini campus next to the Aula Magna.

Counseling at John Cabot University will help you maintain your mental health
Your mental health is a crucial part of your academic and personal success. To support your mental health and help you through personal issues, counseling is offered both remotely and in person. Health services at John Cabot University are included in your tuition costs, making access extremely convenient. In addition to professional attention, many students find strength and healing in spirituality. When you study at our American University in Rome, you’ll find that we support multiculturalism through religious life. We will connect you with your place of worship, a friendly chaplain, faith-based service opportunities, and enriching interfaith activities.
Studying abroad or seeking a degree in Italy requires official student status. Through Immigration Services, we provide you with all the necessary resources to make a smooth transition, acting as an intermediary between you and Italian authorities and keeping you informed about necessary procedures and documentation.
