Support Services
There are many supports available at the Graduate Center to assist in your learning. Some of these are for academic support, some are for basic needs support- both types of support are essential to your learning, so please make use of all available supports so you can do your best. All of the offices/services on campus have remote assistance available. Many great resources are available here. Some specific offices on campus that may be helpful to you include (but are not limited to):
Basic Needs Supports
it’s impossible to do your best learning if your basic needs are not met, so please use these services if they would be helpful (and please share this information with your friends!).
- Food Pantry– (212-817-7400) The GC has its own food pantry in Room 8303. You can see more information on this page.
- Additional Food Resources
- SNAP Eligiblity for CUNY Students
Physical and Mental Health Supports
You cannot learn if you do not feel well, so please prioritize your mental and physical health. Due dates in this class are flexible so you can take the time you need if you are facing mental or physical health challenges, and the offices below may also be helpful:
- Student Counseling Center (212-817-7020)
- CUNY Crisis Line Text “CUNY” to 741741 to speak with a compassionate, trained Crisis Counselor. Confidential support 24/7, for free.
- Student Health Center’s list of low and no cost health resources and providers
Academic Supports
I encourage you to seek help with your work early and often, whether you are having trouble in our course or not! The Library, Student Advising Fellow, and IT are here to help. I have used (and continue to use!) many of these resources myself, from online chatting a librarian to aid my research to having IT get me into my email after I lost my password, so please take advantage of them.
