51����

Fully online and remote students are valued and integral members of the 51���� community, and you are fully eligible to receive support through the CARES Center.

Your physical location does not limit your access to care. Whether you live near campus, across the state, or in another part of the country, the CARES Center is committed to ensuring you receive the same level of support and personalized attention as students attending classes in person.

The CARES Center serves all currently enrolled 51���� students who are navigating challenges related to basic needs, including housing instability, financial hardship, food insecurity, and concerns related to mental well-being. We recognize that fully online and remote students may face unique circumstances—such as limited access to local resources, unexpected financial disruptions, caregiving responsibilities, or sudden life changes—that can impact academic success. Our experienced Case Managers are available to meet virtually, assess individual situations, and develop personalized plans that connect students with appropriate community-based resources, university programs, and ongoing support services.

Through coordinated case management, referrals, follow-up communication, and advocacy when appropriate, we work to reduce barriers that may interfere with your ability to persist and succeed at 51����. Distance should never prevent you from seeking help. No matter where you are learning from, the CARES Center is here to ensure you feel supported, connected to resources, and equipped to continue progressing toward your educational goals.
