Apr 29, 2026   |  ATHENS CAMPUS

You've made it! Finals week is nearly done, and many of you will be walking across the stage at the Convocation Center this weekend. Congratulations to all of you! Whether you are moving out or moving somewhere new at the end of this week, please remember the move-out resources including donation stations and recycling options. I'll see you around Athens this summer, when you return in the fall, or when you're back for Homecoming.

Associate Vice President & Dean of Students

Whether you have a summer job or internship, are taking classes or call Athens home year-round, there are plenty of things to explore!

Need mental health support or to speak to an advocate? Depending on where you are this summer, services might look a little different, but we are always here to help.

Same-day drop-in appointments with CPS are available for new or returning clients Monday through Friday between 9:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. at Hudson Health Center 3rd Floor or by calling 740.593.1616. Telehealth services via Zoom are available to students who are currently enrolled in Athens Campus, reside in the state of Ohio, and have been screened as being appropriate for mental health services through telehealth. If experiencing a crisis, all students may speak with a counselor 24/7/365 by calling 740.593.1616 or 988.  If in need of emergency care, call 911. 

The Survivor Advocacy after-hours hotline is not active over break, but the office remains open with normal hours.

Starting in Summer 2026, OHIO will add a 5% markup to Inclusive Access content to support the costs of running the program. This update helps ensure your course materials remain affordable, reliable and ready when classes begin. Inclusive Access still offers discounted digital course materials delivered through Canvas on the first day of class, and you have the option to opt out of this program in Canvas. Opting out means that you’ll have to locate and purchase the course materials independently, rather than having them automatically available and billed to your student account.
