Center for Student Assistance

The Center for Student Assistance, located on the Sugar Grove Campus in the Student Center, Room 103, is here to help you connect with the resources and support you need to succeed - both in and out of the classroom.

Whether you need help with food, housing, transportation, technology, or other basic needs, our team can connect you with college and community resources that can make a difference. The Center for Student Assistance is also home to The Grove, Waubonsee's food pantry, where currently enrolled students can access free groceries and essential items in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

Life happens, and you don't have to face challenges alone. Stop by, ask questions, and let us help you find the support you need so you can stay focused on your goals.
