The Division of Student Life is here to support you through this spring semester of remote learning. We have pivoted some of our services, resources, and programs to meet your needs in a remote learning environment. Our goals are to provide support, encourage connections, and allow you the opportunity to engage with the campus community from home.
Even with Miami’s transition to remote learning, the Rinella Learning Center is here to excel in our mission to support students academically. We are thrilled to provide three remote options for students seeking content-specific assistance:
ALL of these options are completely FREE for Miami students. Students are also encouraged to reach out for academic coaching as they move to remote work. RLC is prepared to help students succeed during this transition!
The Miller Center for Student Disability Services (SDS) is working with currently affiliated students and accepting new students needing accommodations. All services have moved to a remote format.
Check out their Remote Learning Accessibility Toolkit for students, faculty, and staff.
Students experiencing an access barrier should continue to use the Access Barrier Report form.
We are all experiencing unprecedented events and we know these events may have placed some students in financially challenging situations.
If you are a full-time registered Oxford student and are experiencing food insecurity, housing insecurity, technological challenges, or any other immediate financial crisis, please contact our office at 513-529-1877 or by filling out a Spring 2020 Emergency Funding Request form and let us see how we can help!
The Health Services Center is open with limited hours and services.
The Student Health clinic is open with essential staff and reduced hours. Only patients are permitted to enter the clinic; no friends or support persons are allowed unless the patient is a minor. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (fever, coughing, shortness of breath), please call prior to coming to Student Health Services.
The H.O.P.E. (Help Over the Phone Everywhere) line is available 24/7 for students to call for immediate support, crisis intervention, and stabilization from a licensed mental health counselor. This service is free for Miami students.
The H.O.P.E. Line phone number is 855-249-5649.
EdLogics was introduced to Miami students last year as a fun, engaging way to learn about health using gamification principles.
EdLogics has added several COVID-19 related articles in addition to hundreds of other topics you can peruse when you have some time.
The program is offered free to all Miami students through MiamiOH.edlogics.com. Drawings for prizes (and sometimes cash!) are held every few weeks.
For Miami students residing in any location, we are pleased to offer daily Campus Care sessions via WebEx. Campus Care is an option for students who want to consult with a trained mental health professional in a less formal and more convenient setting than a counseling appointment. Virtual Campus Care sessions are held Monday through Friday.
While in-person events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month have been canceled, Student Wellness and the It's On Us committee is sharing social media messaging throughout the entire month. Interactive and virtual activities have been added as well.
You're doing your part and staying home, preventing the spread of COVID-19 but you still want to engage with your local community. This calls for a different kind of service!
The Wilks Institute for Leadership and Service has several ideas for how to engage in service in the time of COVID-19. Here is a preview:
