Slug Support
College can be challenging, and the Slug Support Program through the Dean of Students Office is here to help. This team of case managers works with students to tackle issues affecting their success—from food, housing, and financial needs, to helping coordinate academic, health, or personal resources. They don’t provide counseling directly but partner with Counseling & Psychological Services to get you support as needed. You can refer yourself or be referred by anyone on campus—and they’re available in person, over video, or phone.
Basic Needs
UCSC is committed to supporting student well-being inside and outside the classroom. The Basic Needs program connects students with resources for food, housing, financial support, and more. Whether you’re facing a short-term challenge or ongoing need, this is a starting point for getting help and staying focused on your education.
Student Conduct
The student conduct process at UCSC is designed to be educational, not punitive. It promotes accountability, fairness, and community responsibility while helping students learn from their experiences. If you’re involved in a conduct case—or just want to understand your rights and responsibilities—this page explains what to expect and how to engage in the process.
