Student Affairs wants to assure students and their families that help and support are available through a variety of resources. These programs assist students in navigating academic and personal difficulties, while also ensuring that University community members (such as students, faculty, and staff) can connect students needing help with assistance in a timely manner. Please explore the programs below for more information on each.
