Portland-Metro
Oregon Tech is dedicated to offering students the academic, career, health, and wellness services they need, when they need them. Whether guidance on course selection or mental health counseling, we’re ready to assist students in overcoming the challenges associated with college life—and life itself. With the help of staff professionals and in some cases, students’ own peers, our community collectively fosters an environment that allows all students to succeed.
The Student Services team recognizes that each student has specific goals, needs, and challenges that are unique to them. We’re here to connect you with the resources when you need them and help you join into our community.
We provide programs and services students need to achieve academic, personal and professional goals. Our programs and services are designed to provide academic support, enhance personal wellness, develop leadership and communication skills and promote a strong sense of community.
We encourage students to get involved on campus, approach faculty and staff with ideas, questions and concerns and take advantage of the resources that will help you succeed.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
PORTLAND-METRO
: Oregon Tech's Portland-Metro campus resides on the ancestral and contemporary home of the Clackamas, Kathlamet, Multnomah, the Tualatin Kalapuya People, Tumwater, and the Watlala bands of the Chinook, who have stewarded this land since time immemorial.
We also respectfully acknowledge the many tribes and bands of the Klamath Basin region, the many Indigenous nations and lands along the Columbia, and the continued sovereignty of the nine tribes of Oregon and Northern Californian tribes that have ties to this land. It is important to acknowledge the ancestors of this place and to recognize that we are all here because of the sacrifices forced upon them. We also respectfully acknowledge the many Indigenous nations, bands, and tribes lands along the Columbia River. In doing so, we hope to honor their legacy and lives, as well as continue to build the relationship with the Native peoples of this region, the state of Oregon, and across the United States.
