For Undergraduates

• Assistant Deans for Student Life: The assistant deans for student life whose offices are located in each residential college, serve as primary case managers in crisis situations. They are also available to talk with students about well-being concerns and can refer them to appropriate campus resources. Each residential college also offers academic advising services, which may be helpful in difficult times.
• Residential Colleges: Princeton currently has seven residential colleges, each of which is united in a shared vision to foster community and support intellectual growth. Students are required to live in one of Princeton’s seven residential colleges as a first- and second-year student. In turn, this becomes a supportive community through all four years of study and one’s “home” for academic advising.

For Graduate Students: Student-centered support services

The Graduate School offers student-centered support ranging from crisis support to transportation and travel services. For assistance in navigating or getting in touch with any campus resources, reach out to the Student Affairs team. 

Protests, demonstrations, and peaceful dissent on campus

The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies (ODUS) maintains a resource providing guidance about campus protests and demonstrations. Individuals and groups planning to engage in these activities are encouraged to work with ODUS for support. 

Emergency funding and financial assistance

The Office of the Vice President for Campus Life provides a central navigation system for undergraduate and graduate students seeking financial assistance for essential needs and hardships from several departments and offices across campus.  

Leaves of absence

Each year, a number of Princeton undergraduates interrupt their studies for a variety of reasons. Some students will choose to take a leave of absence to take care of a health issue, to pursue a professional or volunteer opportunity, to attend to family matters, to reconsider academic goals, or to meet military requirements. The Dean of the College assists students in navigating the leave-taking process.
