Student Wellness Resources

Ongoing University resources are available to students in need of information, assistance and support. MCIT Online students should reference their Onboarding & Ongoing Resources course for wellness resources.

Everyone on campus should be aware that students who have experienced or know someone who has experienced assault or abuse can turn to the Division of Public Safety Special Services Unit, Student Health and Counseling or the Penn Women’s Center. Links to these and other resources can be found below, through the University Wellness website, and also on the VPUL website.
