    • Everyone needs a little help sometimes, and Emergency Aid is here to provide additional support to you throughout your academic journey. Students that are enrolled in at least 6 Credit hours can apply for emergency assistance for qualified emergency expenses.  
    • Documentation such as a bill must also be submitted. 
  • Ivy’s Closet is a food pantry where nonperishable food items and personal supplies may be obtained by students, faculty and staff who find themselves in financial difficulties or in emergency situations. Participants are asked to complete a short application and intake process with a Student Success Advocate.
