Citrus College IMPORTANT NOTICE At the time of publication, the resources listed in this guide were confirmed to be free or low-cost for persons with low income. Please call to confirm costs (if any) prior to using any of the services listed in this guide. The Office of Student Affairs and Citrus College do not endorse any of the services listed in this resource guide. The information is collected for the convenience of Citrus College students. INTRODUCTION TO THIS GUIDE Dear Citrus College Community, Our students have many responsibilities as they balance personal responsibilities with homework, class schedules, fees and books. Because they are pulled in so many directions with a multitude of obligations, many students experience increased levels of stress or anxiety while they attend college. This guide is dedicated to providing students with information on free and low-cost services in an effort to ease some of these pressures, while also serving as a resource for college employees to reference when helping students in need. It is my sincere hope that this guide serves as a starting point for many students who are unsure of where to begin to ask for help. At Citrus College, it is our collective goal to remove barriers for students so that their college journey ends with the successful completion of their educational objectives. If you come across students who need support services outside of the areas listed in this guide, please have them call the 211 Directory. This is a confidential service that connects people with free resources, such as food, clothing, shelter, counseling or medical care, in their local area. Simply have the person dial “211” from any phone and let the operator know what area they are in and what services they need. I look forward to working with everyone in the Citrus College family to create a supportive and welcoming environment for all students. Sincerely,

Dr. Maryann Tolano-Leveque Dean of Students
