Student Life is a campus-wide student service providing inclusive and innovative programs and resources to holistically support UCSF students. We are invested in reciprocal partnerships to enhance the student experience and their success through four pillars: community, advocacy, access and inclusion, and data informed decision making.
Basic Needs
for Students
Basic Needs connects students to critical on- and off-campus resources and provides educational opportunities for students to take personal responsibility for their wellness.
First Generation Support Services
First Generation Support Services (FGSS) serves the students whose parents/caregivers did not graduate from a four-year college.
Student Disability
Services
Student Disability Services serves, supports, and empowers UCSF students with disabilities by ensuring equitable access to fully and holistically participate in all areas of the university experience.
StudenT
Involvement
Student Life serves to support and enhance the activities undertaken by student organizations at UCSF, facilitate the goals of the student governments, foster the development of student leadership skills and contribute to the growth of a diverse and welcoming community where students feel they belong.
Student Veteran and Militry Support Services
Student Veteran and Military Support Services provides our veterans and military-affiliated students at UCSF with a supportive community, mentorship opportunities, guidance on educational benefits, and tools to succeed both academically and personally.
Synapse:
UCSF Student Voices
Synapse plays a vital role of strengthening the
widely-dispersed campus community by providing news about UCSF, and in
particular, student life, that cannot be found anywhere else. Students who write for the newspaper also benefit—by learning a variety of skills that will assist them later in their health science careers.
