Michigan Recreation

Student Life’s Michigan Recreation promotes a healthy lifestyle through student engagement, leadership opportunities, and physical activity. Get active via a Group-X group fitness class, visit one of our many indoor or outdoor recreational facilities, and be sure to check out some of the other programs M Recreation offers during your time on campus.

University Unions

The University Unions offer services, programs, spaces, and student involvement opportunities within the Michigan League, Michigan Union, and Pierpont Commons. For generations of Wolverines, these facilities have been more than buildings or gathering places; they have served as the "living rooms" of the campus community, providing conveniences, amenities, and comfortable spaces for getting to know and understand one another outside the classroom. 

Counseling & Psychological Services

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.

Inclusive Campus Resources

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

Dean of Students Office

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.
