Office of Student Advocacy and Support

ABOut our office

The college experience can be stressful and challenging for students. However, when a difficult situation interferes with a student's personal wellness, we work alongside students to empower success. 

The Office of Student Advocacy & Support will engage students in a co-curricular experience that amplifies the institutional student learning outcomes throughout their career at the University of Toledo.
