Portland-Metro Student Services

Oregon Tech is dedicated to offering students the academic, career, health, and wellness services they need, when they need them. Whether guidance on course selection or mental health counseling, we’re ready to assist students in overcoming the challenges associated with college life—and life itself. With the help of staff professionals and in some cases, students’ own peers, our community collectively fosters an environment that allows all students to succeed.

The Student Services team recognizes that each student has specific goals, needs, and challenges that are unique to them. We’re here to connect you with the resources when you need them and help you join into our community.

We provide programs and services students need to achieve academic, personal and professional goals. Our programs and services are designed to provide academic support, enhance personal wellness, develop leadership and communication skills and promote a strong sense of community.

We encourage students to get involved on campus, approach faculty and staff with ideas, questions and concerns and take advantage of the resources that will help you succeed.

Student Services hosts Lunch and Learn events at which folks can learn about resources, strategies, and tools available to support student success.
