Academic Resources

Stanford University has a number of academic resources available to help students deal with stress and life crises while at Stanford. The staffs that provide these services are dedicated to encouraging both academic and personal success and sensitive to confidentiality concerns. We hope that students will feel confident in fully availing themselves of the resources shown below.
