The Centre attempts to provide a warm and congenial atmosphere for its foreign and NRI students, and support when they are homesick or have language difficulties. Along with the International office, the Centre orients them to the institutional and academic policies. Counsellors also reach out to them by participating in their fellowship gatherings so that they feel comfortable to approach the counsellors in times of need. Counsellors work individually with these students to ensure that they understand assessment patterns, teaching methodologies and the expected code of conduct on campus; guiding them in local etiquette and giving them pointers that would help them even outside campus. Counsellors also help in providing a warm and welcoming environment for students who are differently abled by reaching out to them in various ways. Differently-abled students receive individual support from the Counsellors, starting from the time of admission and extending through their course. The counsellors work with the Examination Office to obtain for these students, privileges during exams, for example, language exemptions, extra time, scribes, exclusive and easily accessible exam halls etc.

Various enrichment programmes are organized by CCHS in order to create awareness on a healthy lifestyles, personal safety, mental health, substance abuse and communicable and lifestyle diseases; providing open platforms for students to learn and share experiences with regard to issues which influence their health and well-being.

Peer education is a Certificate Course (optional elective) which carries 2 credits; offered by the CCHS to the second year undergraduate students. The course, which aims to mould the candidates into “Peer Educators,” is based on the impact of peer influence during adolescence. Peer Educators, in turn, create positive attitudes and permeate a strong and healthy value-base among the youth that they come in contact with. The selected students undergo intensive training on topics like Life skills, Inclusiveness and Personal Safety through lectures, role plays, interactive sessions, group projects, field trips and mentoring sessions. The Peer Educators then work as volunteers alongside the counsellors, run life-skill based initiatives and also take the lead in organising and implementing awareness programmes.

Induction counselling: Through an interactive session, newly joined students and their parents are oriented, by the counsellors, to the campus culture and academic practices followed at the University. They are briefed about the academic assessment patterns, the required code of conduct and dress, the attendance requirements and information regarding the other centers and activities.
