Mental Health Counseling

Davenport University has partnered with Pine Rest to offer student counseling services free of charge. After scheduling an appointment, students will be seen via TeleTherapy for all campus locations. Students at the W.A. Lettinga Campus may have the ability to see the counselor in person if preferred. Same-Day Support is available for all students 24/7/365.

Budget & Debt Consultation Service

CashCourse provides:

  • Online financial education courses through instructor assignments or self-study
  • Customizable financial tools such as worksheets, a Budget Wizard, quizzes, and calculators
  • A personal dashboard to track your progress
  • Articles and resources on topics that students can relate to
  • A guide to real-life money questions 

Student Emergency Fund

Davenport University’s Student Emergency Fund is available to provide a source of funding for currently enrolled Davenport University students who require temporary, immediate financial support (excluding tuition and campus room and board) for dire emergencies that involve circumstances beyond the student’s control and for which other resources have been exhausted.

The funds are not intended to be used for routine expenses or supplement a student’s education funding sources. A committee through Davenport University administers the program.

Panther Resource Closet (PRC)

The Panther Resource Closet stocks unopened non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, and new or gently used professional clothing that is in style, clean, and in good condition. The closet is designed to provide these resources free of charge to all enrolled students who might need them.

  • The PRC is located on the lower level of the academic building between the main elevator and the Public Safety Office on the W.A. Lettinga campus. 
  • Davenport students not attending the W.A. Lettinga campus are also eligible to utilize the PRC and can request resources by emailing volunteercenter@davenport.edu or fill out the PRC Packs Accommodation/Clothing Request form.
