Ahead of the fall 2026 semester, Oklahoma State University Campus Life will open the new Student Support Center, located in 214 Student Union. The center reflects a strategic effort to centralize key student support services and ensure students have clear, accessible pathways to assistance.

Students are not expected to navigate college alone. The Campus Life team within the Student Support Center is available for students when they are unsure where to turn, providing coordinated support to help them address challenges and stay on track toward success.

The Student Support Center brings together multiple units previously located across campus into a centralized, student-focused location.

The Student Support Center includes the following units:

• Basic Needs provides resources to help students access essentials like food, hygiene products, and emergency financial support.
• Student Conduct helps students navigate conflict and behavioral concerns through communication, accountability, and problem-solving and manages the university’s response to reports of student sexual violence.
• Case Management supports students through challenges impacting their well-being and success by helping them identify goals, connect to resources, and navigate barriers.
• Transfer, Non-Traditional, and Former Foster Youth Support offers comprehensive services through coordinated programming, proactive outreach, individualized guidance, and cross-campus partnerships that foster a sense of belonging and support academic, social, and personal success.

The centralized space enhances the student experience by reducing barriers and simplifying access to help. Students who previously had to navigate multiple offices across campus can now find support in a single location, creating a seamless, coordinated approach to care.

“The Student Support Center represents our commitment to ensuring every student has access to the resources and support they need to succeed,” said Aleigha Mariott, assistant vice president for Campus Life. “By bringing these services together, we are making it easier for students to ask for help, connect with professionals, and move forward with confidence.”

The Student Support Center is part of Campus Life’s broader efforts to enhance the student experience through intentional opportunities that promote belonging, engagement, and support.

Students, faculty or staff with questions regarding the new location or those seeking to connect with the Student Support Center are encouraged to visit 214 Student Union or reach out at campuslife@okstate.edu or 405-744-5470.
