So why use these resources?

• They’re part of your cost—the support is already included in tuition and fees.
• They’re for EVERYONE, not just those in crisis—whether you’re struggling or pushing for excellence, these services are for you.
• You get out what you put in—students who proactively use these offerings typically report better grades, stronger connections, and higher satisfaction.
• You will be welcomed—most services are private, respectful, and focused on your goals and well-being.

In the video below, you’ll meet Appollonia, a fellow Privateer who has made the most of her UNO experience by actively seeking out and using campus resources. From academic support to involvement opportunities, she’s built connections, gained confidence, and thrived both inside and outside the classroom. Her story is a great reminder that the tools for success are here—you just have to use them!
