Caltech provides campus safety, student wellness and care resources through its student-affairs structure. The official catalog links Student Wellness Services, Caltech Accessibility Services and the Caltech Care Team; students should use those current offices and emergency guidance after arrival rather than rely on a generic safety label. International students can use Caltech's International Student Programs, while academic support includes advisers, option representatives and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach. Graduate students must maintain continuous registration and satisfactory progress, and each Ph.D. student must have an active faculty thesis adviser under the catalog rules.
