Life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to. Classes sometimes turn out to be tougher than you thought. Financial issues occur when you’re least able to handle them. Emergencies—academic and personal—happen, and when they do, you need to know someone’s got your back.
That’s why we’re here.
We can help you navigate through life’s ups and downs and make sure you have the support you need to succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
When you need a caring, knowledgable, and supportive champion, we are here for you.
When you’re having an academic problem, we can help you navigate university policies and find the appropriate support services.

We can connect you with a host of other community partners and services, all dedicated to helping you in times of trouble.

It’s not always easy to ask for assistance. If you know of an IUPUI community member who is struggling, we encourage you to refer them to us.
