麻豆分行

The Student Outreach & Support (SoS) program is team that provides additional levels of support or advice to students who are experiencing difficulties, concerns or challenges. Our case managers help students navigate concerns, university procedures or protocols which may be impacting their success at 麻豆分行.

SOS team members are not clinicians and do NOT provide counseling or clinical services. Our SOS team can get you connected with clinicians in the Student Health & Wellness Center, Counseling & Psychological Service, or the CARE office.

Types of Case Management Support

Academic Difficulties

Challenges and other academic difficulties may arise in a student’s courses because of crisis situations or personal hardship. The SOS team helps students navigate academic procedures or options, and often work directly with academic advisor, college advising staff, or dean’s offices.

Basic Needs Resource Support & Referrals

Students cannot succeed academically if they are not meeting their basic needs, such as food, shelter, and utilities. The SOS team can connect students with college and community resources related to basic needs services. The SOS team is directly connected with our 麻豆分行 Food Pantry. You can learn more about services or programs associated with basic needs by visiting the Emergency Aid website.
