Accessing the Student Care Network

Your success in college is about more than your academic progress—it's also about your overall well-being. Whether it’s a life event that impacts you or your family, financial stress, health needs, and more, Dominican can support you.  

Dominican has established the Student Care Network to ensure students can access resources supporting a wide variety of challenges. Our Student Care team partners with colleagues across campus to coordinate the best support for you no matter your needs.

When you fill out the Stars Assistance Form, a team member from the Student Care Network will reach out to you to learn more about your needs and guide you through resources that can help— directly connecting you with other professionals who are trained to provide the specific support you need. Additionally, our team can coordinate with your faculty advisor and professors when needed to ensure a coordinated support plan.
