College is a time to discover your passions, meet new people and begin your path to professional excellence. Sometimes that takes more time than you expected—maybe you’re changing majors, or you have not made many connections as you’d like or found an outlet for your interests.

The Office of Student and Family Support is here to help you overcome barriers to reaching graduation. We collaborate with departments across campus to offer holistic support through academic, emotional, social, spiritual and financial resources. We help you navigate college, find what you love to do and make a difference along the way.

With the support of the Creighton community behind you, you can succeed and thrive—in your studies, your life and your career. Bluejays are resilient.
