Care and Support Services

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.

Student Intake Form

If you have concerns about a student, please fill out the ICARE Referral Form below. We will review and follow up with the student.

ICARE Referral Form

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

Emergency Fund

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.

Complaints & Concerns

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.

Accommodations and Support Services is committed to serving the campus, and to serving students who may be experiencing personal challenges as the campus transitions to virtual classrooms and services. The health and safety for our students, faculty, and staff is top priority for Eastern Washington University, therefore the Dean of Students and the Accommodations and Support Services staff have options to meet in-person or remote. We are retrieving phone messages regularly between the hours of 8:00am – 5:00pm, Monday – Friday, and will respond to your messages in the order received and as quickly as possible.

The timeliest way to reach a member of the Dean of Students staff or member of the Accommodations and Support Services staff is by sending a referral via one of our online report forms listed above. Our office staff will respond to phone messages within 1 business day via phone or email (509-359-7924 or dos@ewu.edu). For students, to ensure that we assist you effectively, please make sure you clearly identify your first and last name, your student ID number, and your eagle email address when leaving either a voice or e-mail message. For faculty or staff, please provide full name, your department, and your preferred contact information so we can best respond to your concerns and provide assistance.
