Personal Care Products
Students in need of personal care and hygiene products may use our Pantry Pickup Program to discreetly request such items like body wash, hair care products, menstrual hygiene products, deodorant, and more. Limit two order requests per semester per student.
Once your request has been approved, your items, if available, will be secured in a designated locker on campus so you can pick up your items at a time that works best for you. Items are held for one week only.
A complete description of available items and instructions for picking up your request are listed on the Pantry Pickup form.
Note: the Pantry Pickup Form for the spring 2024 semester will open soon. Check back after February 3rd.
Shower Facilities
Miramar College offers a safe place to practice self-hygiene for housing insecure students. Campus shower facilities are maintained jointly by Miramar College and the City of San Diego at the Ned Baumer Aquatic Center.
Shower facilities may be used by any student experiencing housing insecurity who is currently enrolled in at least one class, has paid their enrollment fees (or have had such fees waived), and is in good standing with the district.
Showers are available for 1-hour per day during the times listed below. Students are NOT provided with toiletries nor a towel or washcloth from the Aquatic Center. To request such items in advance, please, refer to the Pantry Pickup Program mentioned in the Personal Care Products section above. Limits apply.
