Resources and Advocacy

While our department is always here to help you with major/minor requirements and opportunities in Political Science, we also know that college is an extremely difficult time for students. Below are some resources that may be useful to you. If you have any questions, please contact political science advising at [email protected] or your college advisor to help you navigate resources.

Student Resources

The Office for Student Affairs has compiled a list of resources for students. These include resources on the Twin Cities campus as well as off-campus and community resources. On this page, you will also find a hospitalization guide for students to help you navigate these situations, if needed.

The College of Liberal Arts offers college-specific advising and student services.

PoliSci Pick-Me-Up Pantry

The PoliSci Pick-Me-Up Pantry, or PoliSci Pantry for short, is a new spot for students to grab something you may have forgotten, need, or would just help to make your day brighter. It is not a replacement for the Nutritious U Food Pantry; we won't have fresh foods, but you can come grab a snack, toiletries, and/or school supplies at no cost. The pantry is open to any undergraduate student.

Location: 1474 Social Sciences Building (14th floor).

Hours: Mondays-Thursdays 1:00-4:00pm. Please note: Hours are subject to change last-minute and the pantry is only open during the academic year.

We would also like to hear about your experience with the pantry, including recommendations for things to improve. Please submit your thoughts using our anonymous feedback form.

Email the advising office at [email protected] if you have any questions. Opening date for fall 2026 will be announced soon.

Student Advocacy

• Help can be found at the Office for Conflict Resolution on campus.
• Student Advocate Services can assist in cases of accused misconduct.

As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you need extra assistance or resources!
