Housing & Residential Education Student Affairs

ROCs provide support in connection to campus resources as they navigate challenges in academics, emotional/mental health, basic needs/finances, and housing.  

What do ROCs offer?

• Support for residents to advocate for themselves 

• Connection to resources on campus and in housing 

When to reach out to an ROC? 

• Academics: Stressed about classes, feeling behind in courses, unsure how to communicate with faculty  

• Finances: Struggling to pay for food, loss of scholarships, behind in tuition, change in familial support 

• Mental Health: Struggling with anxiety, depression, and when feeling overwhelmed 

• Social Conflicts: Navigating relationships, roommate concerns, lack of community on campus 

 What to expect during your meeting with an ROC? 

• We will begin by reviewing your individual needs and concerns. Together, we’ll discuss various campus resources that can provide additional support and collaboratively create a personalized action plan outlining the steps you can take moving forward. Finally, we’ll schedule a follow-up to check in on your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your plan. We look forward to supporting you on your journey!
