Student Caregivers

The online Parenting Resource Subject Guide through the Library gives you access to books for children and parents, as well as family-friendly DVDs available for checkout anytime. Students can find helpful e-books, videos, and TED Talks about parenting. As a student at SF, you can also check out books and read eBooks from over 160,000 titles in our collection, and access materials on course reserve from the Library using your SFID as a library card.

The Student Health Care Center has a registered nurse available full-time and an office program specialist ready to help you. SHCC staff provides education and counseling on health, wellness, and illness. The nurse can assess health concerns and assists if you need to be seen by a medical provider or clinic.

SF recognizes the importance and benefits of breastfeeding for student parents and their infants. The lactation spaces listed below offer a clean, secure, and private space and is equipped with a comfortable seat and table.

We recommend that you bring a small cooler to store your breast milk. Santa Fe College is not responsible for the security or integrity of breast milk.

The Northwest Campus has a lactation room available on the first floor of Building S. This room is available to any SF-affiliated nursing parent, student, faculty, staff, visitor, and breastfeeding spouse or partner. To schedule an appointment, contact the Student Life front desk at 352-395-5912.
