Emergency Aid for Students
Emergency Aid is the unexpected or unforeseen expense, event or circumstances that could cause a loss of momentum toward student success. At Â鶹¹ÙÍø we strive each and every day to support our students’ success but understand there are times when students experience difficulties that disrupt their academic, professional and personal lives. Not having a place to live, food to eat or money for transportation or childcare can have a serious impact on a student’s ability to attend school or obtain a degree. If you or someone you know is needing assistance, please contact one of the many emergency aid providers at Â鶹¹ÙÍø for further support. Unsure of who to contact or what help is needed, contact the Dean of Students Office at DOS@utep.edu or (915) 747-5648 for further assistance.
