The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs (VPSA) is charged with the responsibility of providing student support services, assistance, and referrals to all WOU students. If you have a question or concern about an aspect on-campus or virtual, and don’t know where to start, our office can assist you. Here are some of the services provided to students.
CARE Team/Student of Concern Form
The WOU CARE team is made up of a cross-section of professionals across campus who respond to reports of concern submitted by our community. If an issue arises that requires attention from the CARE team, please submit a Student of Concern form. It is the most immediate way to communicate with us. In the event you are faced with an emergency situation, please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-838-9000.
If a student needs to take a leave of absence from WOU during the term when experiencing a physical or mental health concern, our office reviews these applications. Please click here for more information.
