Student Resources

If you’re experiencing problems with school or just life, you can get help. Take advantage of services on campus or in the community.

If you are on campus and experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or (360) 867-6140, or use a blue courtesy phone.

If you are off-campus and experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

The Washington Information Network 211 is a statewide resource for finding help. Search their database, chat online, or call (800) 572-4357 in Thurston County.

If you have observed a student who appears to need non-emergency help, you can report your concerns to the CARE Team.

Financial Aid

If you’re having financial difficulty, contact the Financial Aid Office right away. It’s easier to get assistance early in the quarter compared to later. If you or your family has lost income, you may be eligible for additional aid. Email your concerns and questions to finaid@evergreen.edu.

Discrimination or harassment

As we focus on attending to the urgent needs of our community, we ask that you join us in combatting racial stigmatizing of others, particularly members of our Asian American community. Please help us to reinforce Evergreen’s values of inclusivity and belonging.

To reduce stigma, bias and xenophobia:

  • Rely on and share trusted sources of information.
  • Speak up if you hear, see, or read stigmatizing or harassing comments or misinformation. (Please see Evergreen’s non-discrimination policy.)
  • Show compassion and support for individuals and communities hardest hit by the virus.
  • Avoid stigmatizing people who are in quarantine. They are making the right choice for their communities.
  • Don’t make assumptions about someone’s health status based on their ethnicity, race or national origin.

If you have witnessed or have information about a behavior, event, or action on campus that may be bias-related, contact the Bias Incident Response Team at birt@evergreen.edu or (360) 867-6296. (You do not need to be a member of the Evergreen community to report an incident.)

If you are a student who has experienced discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct from a faculty or staff member, contact the Affirmative Action & Equal Opportunity Officer.

If you are a faculty or staff member who has experienced discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct from a coworker, contact the Affirmative Action & Equal Opportunity Officer.

If you are a student or know a student who has experienced sex– or gender-based violence, on campus or off campus, contact the Title IX coordinator.

If you are an employee who has received information about sexual misconduct, relationship violence, stalking, or gender harassment, you must contact the Title IX coordinator. (Evergreen employees are all considered Responsible Employees.)
