Resources

Take advantage of the many, many opportunities for support in your development as a student available at Kingsborough. Some of these are for academic support, some are for basic needs support, some are for mental and physical health- all of these types of support are essential to your learning, so please make use of all available supports so you can do your best. All of the offices/services on campus have remote assistance available.  

It is impossible to do your best learning if your basic needs are not met, so please use these services if they would be helpful (and please share this information with your friends!)

  1. Access Resource Center (718-368-5411, Access Resource Center – benefits screening, winter coat and clothing closet, resource center, legal and financial consultations
  2. Food Pantry– Several food supports available, including grab and go, weekly pantry bags, and weekly produce bags  Food Resources.  
  3. The Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation Student Emergency Grant Fund- Student Emergency Funds provides financial assistance to KCC students who are currently enrolled, are in good academic standing and are facing short-term financial emergencies (examples: job loss, illness, or death of family member/self, need for glasses or dental work, homelessness or impending homelessness, theft of books/computer, etc).

You cannot learn if you do not feel well, so please prioritize your mental and physical health.  Due dates in this class are flexible so you can take the time you need if you are facing mental or physical health challenges, and the offices below may also be helpful:

  1. Counseling Center(718-368-5975 Counseling Center)
  2. Health Services (718-368-5684 Health Center) 
  3. Women’s Center (718-368-4700  Women’s Center)

I encourage you to seek help with your work early and often, whether you are having trouble in our course or not!  The Library, KCL, and IT are here to help.  I have used (and continue to use!) all of these resources myself, from online chatting a librarian to aid my research to having IT get me into my email after I lost my password, so please take advantage of them.
