Supporting Students

St. Catherine University is committed to helping students find academic and personal success during their time on campus. You can find a plethora of resources we provide students on the University Student Support page, some of which are called out below.

  • Getting a strong start on their academic journey.

  • Academic support resources available (such as the Library, tutoring, accommodations, and more). 

  • Student organizations they can join.

  • Tech tutorials and support options to support tech needs.

  • How to use Canvas, St. Kate's online course platform, including how to download the Canvas app to a phone.

Please view the comprehensive list of all student resource hubs available to students.

Together, staff and the student will explore appropriate accommodations and identify resources that may be beneficial to the student.
