APPLY TO JOIN THE STUDENT ADVOCATE'S OFFICE! We are an executive, non-partisan office of the ASUC that helps students resolve issues of academics, financial aid, conduct, and grievances. We also defend students' rights and advocate for policies promoting equity and accessibility.

Our office recognizes all instances of displacement and is open, accessible, supportive to students being impacted. If you are in need of academic accommodations or other support, reach out to [email protected] to get connected to resources.
