STUDENT CARE

Many students face difficult times during college; unexpected life events, personal crises, illness or injury, hospitalization, loss of a loved one, and mental health challenges, are examples of challenges that can interfere with college success. Student Care is dedicated to assisting students experiencing extenuating circumstances through resource referral, care coordination, and university navigation.

 

Student Care is designed to help students:

  • Problem-solve within the university and community through one-on-one support

  • Access referrals for personal matters/emergencies

  • Learn and understand Oregon State University policies and procedures
