Campus and Community Resources for Students

A key component of the work in Student Affairs is to provide students with information and referrals to campus, crisis and community resources. Student Affairs is able to offer many resources to students of concern including medical and mental health services; access to the Student Affairs food pantry (short term) and long term referrals; spiritual development; one time – emergency financial assistance; short term transportation assistance; conflict resolution and other behavioral interventions.

Advising Support for Students

The Center for Student Success (CSS) is Trinity’s one-stop office to support students with their academic success and completion! CSS takes a case-management approach to student success and provides holistic wrap around supports through an integrated team of staff in advising, enrollment services, and financial aid therefore enhancing the student experience and improving retention and completion rates. CSS is focused on collaboration, proactive and intentionally intrusive holistic advising and support for students.
