Resources for support during Coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis (updated 6/6/2020)
CSUSM cares about our students' success. We believe students should have information, resources and support needed to ensure their personal and academic success.
Cougar Care Network (CCN) provides information, connection to resources, advocacy and support for students dealing with personal, academic, financial or other challenges which may adversely affect their academic success and/or collegiate experience.
Students can self refer by dropping in to the Dean of Students Office or by contacting Cougar Care Network at (760) 750-7627 or via ccn@csusm.edu.
Members of the campus community (faculty and staff ) are encouraged to refer students
early for support and resources. All referrals are received and reviewed by a Cougar
Care Network team member who will then connect students to the appropriate department
or resource.
Most students will receive support from one of the following areas:
