DASH@DOS is the central campus resource for UCA students experiencing unexpected financial hardships. Our mission is to help students connect to campus and community resources when a temporary financial setback threatens their academic success.
If you’re facing a financial emergency, we encourage you to schedule an appointment online or by phone at 501-450-3133.
Please note: We typically meet with students by appointment only. While we welcome walk-ins, we cannot guarantee same-day availability. If your need is urgent, please contact us directly to discuss scheduling options.
Most funding provided through DASH@DOS—including emergency grants and hardship scholarships—is a one-time award. This applies throughout your entire time as a UCA student, regardless of changes in enrollment status or classification.
