Homelessness

Student Support at SRU is part of Student Affairs and acts as a central location where faculty, staff, students, parents or community members can refer a student experiencing or causing distress that interferes with learning, development and success. Student Support uses a model focused on the holistic development of the student to assist when they encounter challenges, barriers, and crises that impact their ability to be successful and safe by setting goals and connecting to the appropriate resources.

In Student Support we focus on enhancing student learning and development through one-on-one case management, Boost peer programming, behavioral intervention, and critical incident response. Students, faculty, and staff members can submit a Care referral for a variety of concerns serving as barriers to a student’s ablity to excel in the classroom and in their social environments.

If you'd like for our Care Network to connect with you or your student, please complete an online referral form here: https://sru-advocate.symplicity.com/care_report/

We provide information about grants, loans, work-study and scholarship opportunities, along with information about SRU's affordable tuition. We hope this information assists you in understanding how we can help you with your educational costs.

The Student Counseling Center (SCC) strives to facilitate the total development of students by reducing psychological problems and distress by enhancing mental health, well-being, quality of life, and supporting your aspirations. Our primary focus is on providing brief, confidential counseling aimed at helping students to succeed academically and interpersonally. When students require mental health services that are beyond the role or scope of the SCC, we will make appropriate referrals to campus and community resources.

Rock Pantry+ is SRU’s student food pantry focused on helping students who are unable to consistently access food or toiletries. Rock Pantry+ is now offering shopping-style experience where students can make an appointment or drop-in to fill up a bag of items they want at no cost. Our pantry includes non-perishable food, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, and cleaning supplies.

Students can schedule an appointment to shop by filling out the intake form on Core: https://sru.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/451946. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Pantry hours are Monday-Friday, 9-4. Rock Pantry+ is located within Patterson Hall with Student Support.

Rock Pantry+ is funded by SGA and community donations.
