Housing Insecurity

The Illinois Board of Higher Education requires that public Illinois universities adhere to the Illinois Public Act 102-0083 that supports students who face unexpected costs that may impede their ability to continue and succeed academically.  

CSU has established the Basic Needs Emergency fund.  If you are experiencing difficulty paying for time-sensitive expenses, including housing/rent, food, transportation, utilities, medical care, childcare, books, school fees, or other basic necessities, please fill out the following form, and include a brief summary of your circumstances. It is especially critical for those experiencing homelessness or those that are at risk of being homeless. Currently enrolled students may be eligible for some form of assistance.
