Support Services

University can be an exciting, challenging and daunting time for many students. No matter what you're feeling, it takes some time to learn how to navigate the university system, and it's not always obvious what support services are available.

The most important thing to know is that you don't need to do it on your own: UC has a wide range of dedicated support services set up to help you keep well and achieve your academic goals.

This area of the website contains information about those support services. If you can't quite find what you're looking for, click on the red "Ask UC" button on the bottom right of your screen and someone will do their best to point you in the right direction.
