Support Services

University can be an exciting and challenging 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 has all of that information. If you can't find what you're looking for or need a quick question answered, 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.
