Children's Center
Our campus supports two Children's Centers – one located in the Student Resource Building and one located in West Campus – that provide childcare for student, staff, faculty, and community families. They offer tiered tuition rates as well as grants and scholarships for families with financial need. The Children's Center is heavily utilized by our community, and it can often take a year or more for graduate students to secure a spot for their children, especially infants. We recommend getting on the waitlist early (e.g. as soon as you have a due date for childbirth or a placement date for adoption) and maintaining frequent contact with the appropriate enrollment coordinator to receive updates.
