If you face challenges securing your basic needs, you are not alone. Any student who is experiencing difficulty with transportation, affording materials for classes, accessing food on a regular basis, maintaining mental and physical well-being, and/or lacking a safe place to live, is encouraged to contact our basic needs center, the Renegade Nexus, by completing the Renegade Nexus Referral Form or by visiting us in-person at the Office of Student Life in the Campus Center.
