Our philosophy: For students, staff, and faculty to be supported in the classroom and workplace, they must be supported outside the classroom and workplace. With a directory of on-campus, local, and national resources, we intend to provide as much information and sources of support to meet the fundamental needs and aspirations of our Redlands LGBTQIA2S+ community.
LGBTQIA2S+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and the many other sexual orientations, gender identities, and romantic orientations someone can affirm who they are.

Student Health Resources Website
The Student Support Fund, intended as a financial resource for students with unique needs, reflects the kindness and commitment of generous donors. All enrolled University of Redlands students who are unable to meet immediate, essential needs due to a temporary hardship that is, for example, related to an unforeseen or emergency situation, are eligible to seek the support they need. Requests for funding are reviewed by a Case Manager who meets with the student applicant to gather information that informs their decision. The financial support provided is not considered a loan and does not require repayment; however, some funds may be considered income and are therefore subject to federal taxes.
Review the below resource of steps on how to create a gender-affirming form and why this matters.
