We are here to help students in crisis. Please fill out the Student Intake Form below to let us know what is going on, and we will review the form and have a staff member follow up with you.
If you have concerns about a student, please fill out the ICARE Referral Form below. We will review and follow up with the student.
The Student Emergency Fund (SEF) provides limited, one time, financial assistance when you are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of a temporary emergency. Given the limited amount of funds, not all requests can be approved even though there may be a clear need for assistance.
Situations that are longer-term or require more substantial funding, such as loss of job, reoccurring rent/utilities, larger medical expenses, etc. will be referred to the Financial Aid Office for a more in-depth review of possible funding options.
Fund Eligibility
Medical accommodations are developed under guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A student requesting an accommodation plan needs to fill out the registration form, and have documentation from a medical care provider which includes diagnosis, provider's credentials, and any suggestions for accommodations or treatment.
Accommodations and Support Services staff are not intended to serve as first-responders in emergencies. For immediate assistance, please contact University Police at 9-1-1 or 509.359.7676.
