The EPA is designed to help with problems related to substance abuse, marital and family issues, financial or legal concerns, and job stress and other personal problems. The program is administered by Family Services Associates, one of the most experienced and respected counseling firms in Central New York. In addition, Human Resources provides several programs including access to on campus athletic facilities and financial support for employees and their families.
All Colgate employees are also eligible for multiple free counseling sessions.

Here, students can receive holistic support in 8 dimensions of wellness: emotional, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual/sense of meaning and purpose, occupational, environmental, and financial as well as address any other concerns they may face.

The institution’s smoke-free policy:
Policy on Smoking
All indoor areas of the University are designated as no-smoking areas by New York State law, where no person shall smoke, vape, or carry a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other form of smoking object that is used to smoke tobacco. Further, the University expands the definition of smoking to also include any and all other legal substances such as cloves or any illegal substances including, but not limited to, marijuana. Smoking and vaping is also prohibited in Colgate-owned vehicles. Although all persons are strongly encouraged not to smoke at all on campus, exceptions to the above policy, where smoking technically is permitted, include areas outside of buildings. Individuals who choose to smoke outside should consider moving a reasonable distance from any building entrances. This policy seeks the mutual cooperation, consideration, and thoughtfulness of smokers and nonsmokers. All faculty, staff, and students share in the responsibility for adhering to and enforcing this policy and have the responsibility for bringing it to the attention of visitors. Supervisors are expected to implement this policy in their areas. A complaint or concern regarding this policy should be promptly referred to the immediate supervisor or appropriate dean or vice president for resolution. Violations of this policy will be dealt with in a manner similar to violations of other University policies, with an attempt to resolve the problem as simply as possible, but allowing for disciplinary action if necessary.
