Student services
The Division of Student Affairs is dedicated to the holistic development of students at Widener University and works to inspire students to accomplish their educational goals and become responsible, productive and civically engaged citizens in a global community.
We integrate services and programs to promote student leadership, character development, and a sense of community that contributes to overall personal development.
Housing services
In our residence halls and dining facilities, we seek to build fun, comfortable, and supportive environments to live, learn, and grow.
We know that the college experience is about more than just academic study and career preparation – though that's super important! College is also about being away from home and family (maybe for the first time), and forging new relationships – the kind that last a lifetime.
You will spend a lot of time in our residence halls and dining facilities with your second family of roommates, classmates, teammates, and friends. That's why it's our goal to make these places and spaces feel like your second home.
Library services
As a student (including distance learners and on-campus learners), faculty, staff, or community member, you have access to over 100 research databases, 8,000 electronic journal titles, and 170,000 ebooks. In addition, the library holds thousands of books, physical journals and DVDs in our collection.
ICT services
The Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) provides 24/7/365 support for students, faculty and staff by calling 610-499-1047.
Medical services
In order to support an individual’s achievement of optimal health and wellness, Widener University Student Health Services operates under a holistic philosophy which promotes a healthy mind, body and spirit.
Campus life
At the crossroads of innovation, preparation, and I-95, Widener University is situated just 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia on a 110-acre campus that’s brimming with character and beauty.
Sports facilities
As a student-athlete, you will join a close-knit community dedicated to academic achievement, athletic excellence, and developing leadership skills that will help you on the field, in the classroom, and in your future profession.
