Campus, Community, & Online Resources

Campus Resources

The following resources provide support for Shippensburg University students. Many students who seek counseling services at UCC also indicate multiple concerns such as financial aid questions, health problems, career concerns, academic problems, safety concerns and more. UCC counselors frequently refer students to these campus resources for additional support. Students can also contact the CUB Information Desk at 477-1693 for further assistance. Links to campus resources' web pages are made where available. When you select campus resource, you will be leaving the UCC web pages.

Community Resources

The following community resources may provide additional support for Shippensburg University students. Please note that since the town of Shippensburg covers two counties, Franklin County towards the west and Cumberland County towards the east, community resources may be specific to where the student resides while attending Shippensburg University. Please consult with UCC counselors for assistance in identifying appropriate community resources. The campus itself is located in Cumberland County. The Blue Pages of your telephone directory contain updated contact information.
