We are here for you.
The Office of Student Life and Belonging is here to connect you with campus and community resources intended to support your well-being and meet your basic needs, so that you can focus on meeting your academic goals.
If you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1.
If you are a UO Portland student, or if you know a UO Portland student, who is facing challenges with access to adequate food, stable housing, affordable childcare, or meeting other basic needs, please fill out our Basic Needs Assistance Form to request a response from our Basic Needs Care Coordinator.
Sometimes students cannot or will not ask for support. Informing us of your concern may be a critical factor in getting them help.
