Are you eligible to live off-campus?

If so, our Off-Campus Housing List has now been updated and can be found on the OISS website. The list contains information about housing accommodations offered by local residents.

We understand that managing the pressures of student life can be challenging, especially during stressful times such as political events, exams, or adjusting to life in a new country. Your mental health and well-being are incredibly important, and we want to ensure you have the tools and resources you need to manage stress and stay grounded.

We encourage you to utilize these resources and seek support when needed. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your academic success, and we’re here to help!

1. 24/7 Virtual Mental Health Support with TimelyCare: No matter where you are or what time zone you’re in, TimelyCare offers 24/7 access to virtual counseling, mental health services, and wellness resources.
2. Coping Strategies for Stressful Times: We encourage you to explore the CAPS Election Stress Resource for valuable coping strategies.
3. Stay Connected & Take Care of Yourself: Remember that you are not alone! Stay connected to the support systems around you. Visit CAPS for International Students.

4. Access to Care Connect: Students on the university insurance plan also have access to Care Connect. If you need assistance, you can call 1-88-857-5462 to be connected with a counselor. For more information, please visit CareConnect - Wellfleet Student
