Student Support

Basic Needs Hub

The Basic Needs Hub was created to facilitate the connection of campus and community resources for students who are experiencing a time of critical need. The Hub provides urgent, essential student necessities, such as food, clothing, housing, and access to academic tools. Assistance provided through the Hub is not intended to replace or supplement current student financial aid and it does not need to be repaid.

If you are a student in need and would like to request resources, please complete the resource request form. Note that demonstrated need, availability of resources, relevance and timing of the request will all be taken into account when allocating resources.

If you would like to refer a student in need of assistance or have questions, please email us at basicneedshub@rochester.edu.
