CBCS Reorganization Announcement
Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling
Merges with
Department of Child & Family Studies
Effective May 1, 2015
The College of Behavioral & Community Sciences (CBCS) is pleased to announce that the
Department of Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling (RMHC) will become a program in
the Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS) effective May 1, 2015. The change is a result
of a reorganization within CBCS and should not affect students in any significant way. Students
registered for summer and fall 2015 RMHC courses will not change, nor will the faculty teaching the
courses. In addition, the reorganization will not affect RMHC’s accreditation. Students will continue
to take classes, meet with faculty, instructors and advisors as in the past. In addition, no offices or
classrooms will be moving. For registration purposes, all RMHC courses will show up under CFS in
OASIS. If you have any questions about the reorganization, courses or registration, please contact
Dr. Tennyson J. Wright at tjwright@usf.edu or 813-974-2963, or Sarah Balmer at sbalmer@health.usf.
