With the university plan for an in-person Fall Semester, many students are in the process of wanting to secure off-campus housing for the 2021-22 year. If this is your student, then we would encourage them to participate in our Off Campus Virtual Housing Fair, taking place on Tuesday, April 20, 12 -1 p.m. The event offers an opportunity to chat live (via Zoom) with housing providers, ask questions about the accommodation that's available, and find out more about living off campus in Ann Arbor.

It has been quite a year for you and your student with unprecedented challenges, but also amazing demonstrations of community, pulling together, and helping each other make it work. And that includes student residents of Michigan Housing.

Now that the Winter Term is coming to a close, we offer the following helpful tips for making the ‘move out’ of undergraduate residence halls a smooth, safe transition. Here’s what you need to know:

The essentials

As your student hunkers down and prepares for finals, and the end of the semester, thinking about fall deadlines may be the last thing on their mind.

Dear Wolverine Families,

A new initiative at the University of Michigan supports student victims and survivors of sexual assault, sexual harassment, abuse, intimate partner violence and stalking in processing their experiences.

The Survivor Care Team launched in April and is a collaboration between U-M’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).

The Center for Campus Involvement is the central hub for U-M’s 1,600 student organizations. From your student’s first steps looking to get involved in a group through being president of an organization, CCI supports all of your student’s involvement needs. Your student can check out the Maize Pages to see a complete site with all organizations, the manual for all policies and procedures, and leadership opportunities.

College students experience food insecurity at alarming rates. The Maize and Blue Cupboard is available to provide an immediate and comprehensive response to those needing assistance. By offering resources, educational opportunities, compassionate support and more, the Maize & Blue Cupboard helps students with the resources they need and assists them in developing the skills to make informed decisions.

Is your student looking forward to fall and getting involved in traditional campus activities again? While many programs were adapted for this unusual time, here are some highlights they can use to get the most of the campus experience:
