Basic Needs
CASA provides a range of services to support students in the various components of their lives that contribute to academic success. These services include:
- Providing semester-long laptop loans to students who may not have access to essential technology, ensuring they can keep up with coursework and assignments.
- Assisting students in applying for scholarships and guiding them through the application process in order to secure the financial support they need for their education.
- Connecting students to resources on and off campus, such as tutoring, mental health services, and local organizations in the community, to enhance their overall college experience. Our goal is to remove barriers and provide the necessary tools and support to help students thrive academically.
To access any of these services, visit the Academic Navigator at Otto F. Linn Library Room 208, or submit a request using the “Get Help Now” button at the top of this page.
