LGBT+ Pride Month: COD and Community Resources

Information about LGBTQIA+ groups on campus, such as the student group Pride Alliance, and Safe Zone training for students, faculty, and staff, can be found at the LGBTQIA+ at College of DuPage resource page. This page includes Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) including information on how to change names and pronouns in the computer system/on student IDs, where to go for help, and how to report bias incidents or hate crimes.

COD's Counseling Services supports the emotional well-being of students by offering short-term, confidential, personal counseling to admitted College of DuPage students at no additional cost.
