At Austin Community College District, we understand the crucial link between addressing students’ basic needs and their academic success. The Student Care Center is your hub for life support whether that’s access to food or a connection to community resources, including housing, transportation, legal aid, family support, and more. The Student Care Center guarantees no student is overlooked, ensuring every individual is empowered to excel.
Support from a Student Advocate in accessing Community Resources and/ or the student emergency fund will be available from 10am to 2pm Monday thru Thursday on a first-come, first service basis. No appointments available.
