Adult Services

​​​​​​​​​DePaul has a long history of serving adult learners. The Division of Student Affairs continues this commitment by ensuring inclusion across events, programs, and services.

These are resources of particular interest to adult students:

Many adult students enter DePaul as transfers. The Transfer Success Network aims to jumpstart your success at DePaul by ensuring a successful transition. Through this program, transfer students will be guided through their first year at DePaul with a one-on-one Peer Success Coach. Academic Continuity & Engagement (ACE) works to ensure adult representation among the mentors available.

For more information, visit the Transfer Success Network webpage.

Finding space to relax or study between classes is important. DePaul offers a number of comfortable lounges and quiet study areas on both campuses and in several buildings.

On Loop Campus, be sure to visit the Commuter Student Lounge in the DePaul Center, 1 E. Jackson Boulevard, Room 11028.

This lounge is equipped with comfortable seating, lots of electric plug-ins for charging, study tables, and televisions. The space is open on weekdays during the academic year:

The Student Resource Center on Loop Campus (DePaul Center, 1 E. Jackson Boulevard, 11th Floor Front Desk) is a one-stop shop for resource referral, directions, off-campus housing questions, and more. The desk also handles poster approvals, discount movie ticket sales, and promo tables in the Loop.

The space is open on weekdays during the academic year:
