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 COD and the LGBTQIA+ Community resource page.

The Frequently Asked Questions for LGBTQIA+ students page provides 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.

The Center for Student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion promotes initiatives to support students of "all ethnic and cultural backgrounds" at COD.
