We're Here For You.
College comes with a lot: classes, work, relationships, responsibilities, and expenses. Sometimes an unexpected cost comes up. Sometimes groceries are harder to afford than you anticipated. And sometimes housing, technology, transportation, or other essential needs become a challenge. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
UWL’s Essential Needs resources can help connect you with support for food, housing, mental health, technology, legal, finances, and more. These resources are available to all UWL students, and you don’t need to wait until you’re in a crisis to reach out. Asking for help is a strength. Reaching out early can give you more options and help you stay focused on what brought you to UWL in the first place.
Not sure what you need or where to start? Explore UWL’s Essential Needs Resources or connect with the Student Life Office. We’ll help you find the resources that may be right for you.
