  • Health and Insurance: Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) - All registered students pay a quarterly Student Life Fee which allows them access to the Student Health Service and Student Counseling Service. Info on University insurance for students, including dental and vision coverage, is available here.
  • Family Resource Center: operated through UChicagoGRAD, the FRC provides a welcoming space where all university-affiliated families from the university community can access resources, information, and supportive programming and services. Parental Relief Policy - the policy on University benefits for graduate students who become parents while enrolled is located in the Graduate Student Manual.
  • Religious Absences: in the event you find yourself facing conflicts with religious observations, contact your instructors in advance and make arrangements to meet academic requirements. Please go to the UChicago Spiritual Life page for more info. The Dean of Rockefeller Chapel can be reached at 773-702-8282.
  • Support in Emergency Situations: should you experience a personal emergency, you do not need to face it alone. The Dean of Students, along with the Dean-on-Call, is willing and able to assist and provide support.
  • If you have an emergency and need to go to the Emergency Room of the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC), it may not occur to you to contact the Dean of Students or the dean-on-call for assistance. We have developed an electronic form, called HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) authorization, that allows you to indicate in advance who you would like to reach out to you should you be in the emergency room of UCMC.
