Living at Michigan Residence Halls

The University Activities Center is a student-run organization providing quality programming that is both entertaining and enriching to the lives of students, faculty, and staff at the University of Michigan, and the UAC boasts over a dozen different committees that involve students in the planning and execution of a wide variety of events both on- and off-campus.

Student Life’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides confidential mental health services for currently enrolled U-M students in an atmosphere that is welcoming, comfortable, accessible, and multiculturally sensitive. Support options range from in-person to virtual and include 24/7 crisis support via CAPS After Hours.

Student Life offers you many ways to find connection, community, learning, social justice, and space to support a diverse campus community. 

The Dean of Students Office (DOS) is a central place for students, parents, faculty, and staff to seek assistance in navigating the complex issues of campus life. The critical incident response and student support case management team provide direct support to students experiencing any concern that is impacting their Michigan experience, including academic, financial, or physical/mental health concerns as well as crisis/emergency situations, basic needs, and off-campus housing issues.

Dear University of Michigan Community:

As Wolverines, the importance of cultivating a culture of care for self and others has always been paramount and is of particular importance in this shared moment of crisis and challenge. It is right for us to reflect on the values we hold as individuals and the values we embrace as a community. University values are outlined in the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities: Civility, dignity, diversity, education, equality, freedom, honesty, and safety.  These values stand as long-held community-defined commitments rooted in social justice and put into practice through a restorative approach. It is these values which continue to serve as a guide as we live into our Pledge to Take Care of the Maize & Blue.

The University’s Primary Student Government Organization

With the goals of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Harm Reduction and Well-Being, Telling Our Story, Structure/Infrastructure for Sustainability and Success, Student Life seeks to make a positive impact on the lives of U-M students.

The Health and Wellness Collective Impact (HWCI) for Student Life is an initiative to advance the Student Life Health and Wellness Common Agenda and Learning Outcomes.
