Student Advocacy Program:
The Student Advocacy Program provides help with a variety of issues across multiple campus departments, such as Student Conduct and Community Standards, Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, University Housing and Residence Life, and the Office of the Registrar, and with petitions and appeals from all over campus. They can help students write complete paperwork and forms, explain university processes, and guide students through the possible next steps to manage their concern.
