We understand that the academic year can be stressful for students, especially when dealing with personal and/or academic issues. You may be at risk of committing an academic offence(s) when trying to cope with challenging circumstances. Below is a list of academic and personal resources available for your transition through university.

It assists students, faculty, and staff—wherever they now live—with finding the appropriate wellness resources and to connect with meaningful forms of support. The website organizes mental health resources by category and location, noting instances where the University of Toronto shares support services with the larger community.
