The Student Assistance Resource Center (SARC)
Student Assistance Resource Center
At UNT Health, the Student Assistance Resource Center (SARC) supports your overall well-being so you can thrive academically, professionally, and personally. When life gets complicated, SARC helps reduce barriers by connecting you with essential resources, care, and support—because your success matters.
SARC exists to help ensure students’ basic needs are met, so learning and growth can remain the focus. We assist students experiencing challenges related to food, housing, financial hardship, wellness, and overall stability, while also providing access to campus-wide wellness resources.
Our approach is compassionate, student-centered, and proactive—meeting students where they are and helping them navigate both immediate needs and long-term success.
